About The Position

Reporting directly to the Director of Health & Youth Development, the Health Core Fellowship Program Coordinator II plans and facilitates the full cycle of the Health Core Fellowship Program — from curriculum design and youth facilitation to the external partnerships (City College San Francisco, hospitals, clinics, etc.) that make certifications, mentorship, and paid internships possible. This role blends direct youth-facing program delivery with the relationship management and outcomes tracking needed to move a cohort through a full year and into CHW employment or continued training. The Coordinator is accountable not just running engaging sessions, but for building the CHW pathway, partnerships, retention systems, and mentor program infrastructure that determine whether the fellows actually complete the program.
