- Familiarity with HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and related issues
- Program implementation experience
- Ability to work well independently
- Ability to organize and prioritize multiple tasks
- Commitment to empowerment and Popular Education
- Fluency in written and spoken Spanish and English
Work takes place at each respective site. These are full-time, seasonal (temporary) positions. Program Coordinators will begin in mid-May and work until the end of October. Evening and some weekend hours are expected. Successful candidates must have reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license and insurance, and a clean driving record. Migrant Health Promotion is an equal opportunity employer.
