Position Summary

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our work, regardless of title or position within the organization. This means that all staff at MSU Extension are dedicated to the following:
POSITION SUMMARY
As part of MSU Extension (MSUE) and the Children and Youth Institute (CYI), this position provides local as well as statewide leadership and educational programming expertise in health and wellness. This position will have statewide responsibilities and will collaborate across work teams, Institutes, and community groups, working with faculty, specialists, and educators for overall advancement of the needs of the Institute clientele.
In this position, you will identify, design, implement, and evaluate research-based educational programs that meet current and projected outreach needs related to health and wellness. Through your leadership, you will provide leadership, development, and oversight for growth and management of the MSU Extension AmeriCorps Planning Grant and the Michigan 4-H HealthCorps grant. These grants focus on the enhancement of health and wellness education through a variety of delivery methods including 4-H clubs, Special Interest clubs, and family engagement activities/events. You will work in concert with the MSU Extension Children and Youth Institute to ensure alignment of programs with overall goals of the AmeriCorps Grant, Institute, and MSU Extension.
Through collaboration in research, engagement with community members, and dissemination of research-based information through various methods, including in-person and multimedia programming and written communications, you will explore and implement programs that lead to public knowledge and changes in attitudes and behavior. You will also develop, produce, and deliver health and wellness outreach materials with messaging and content that is accessible and inclusive and is consistent with the Children and Youth Institute and AmeriCorps messaging.
Your work will include close collaboration with colleagues at MSU and MSU Extension who will provide leadership to the grant management. You will also work with a diverse network of partner groups that include the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Corporation for National and Community Services and National 4-H Council. You will collaborate with the 4-H HealthCorps Program Investigators, MSU Extension Grants Team, MSU Contracts and Grants Administration, MSU Extension Human Resources and the MSU Extension Business Office to develop appropriate policies and procedures to implement the grant and meet funder expectations. Acting as a statewide point of contact, you will provide leadership to the Michigan 4-H HealthCorps AmeriCorps Program. This includes identifying and supporting host counties, leading member recruitment efforts, identifying member training needs, delivering some training, and day-to-day program management. You will work with MSU Extension and partners to secure match funding. You will lead efforts to write and submit grant reports and work with a team to develop and submit future AmeriCorps proposals.
Although negotiable, there will be space available for this position to work from the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan.
This position may be eligible to utilize a flexible work environment, however, there is an expectation to work from a MSU Extension office. The needs, responsibilities, and opportunities of an individual’s position and office location drive the ability and amount of work-location flexibility.
This position is a full-time, fixed term end-dated appointment, renewable annually based upon successful performance and continued funding.
