About HealthCorps

HealthCorps is a national nonprofit focused on improving community health by delivering engaging programs for teens in the areas of education, leadership, and service learning. Its approach centers on near-peer mentorship: college students are placed in schools through partnerships with local colleges and universities so they can serve as relatable role models who encourage young people to create positive change in their families, schools, and neighborhoods. The organization’s work is rooted in the belief that limited access to health education can contribute to long-term social, emotional, and physical challenges.

The organization’s culture is shaped by a mission-first mindset, entrepreneurial thinking, a belief that people are its greatest strength, a commitment to teamwork, and a focus on empowering meaningful change within teams and the communities it serves.

Role Overview

HealthCorps serves tens of thousands of students each year through nutrition, mental health, and fitness programming delivered by college mentors. This position sits at the intersection of curriculum creation and field execution, helping ensure that what is built by the curriculum team is effectively delivered by mentors and positively received by students.

As the Learning & Development Specialist, you will take ownership of mentor training and development while working closely across departments to keep the experience strong and consistent. You will help mentors become confident facilitators, strengthen their understanding of program operations such as activity logs, proof of programming, photos, stories, and site communication, and collaborate with curriculum teammates to test whether activities are realistic before they are rolled out. Since mentors work in both classroom and club-based environments with middle and high school students, the training must reflect the different pace, group size, and engagement needs of each setting.

This role also supports the professional growth of mentors, many of whom are pre-health students preparing for future careers in medicine, public health, and healthcare. The training and coaching you provide will influence both their experience at HealthCorps and their development as future healthcare professionals. You will report to the Manager of Mentor Experience and work closely with curriculum, program, and evaluation teams.

Key Responsibilities

Create and lead onboarding experiences that prepare mentors for different teaching environments, help them run effective sessions, engage students of varying ages, and respond confidently when things do not go as planned.
Build ongoing development opportunities such as office hours, live monthly learning sessions, and coaching check-ins that help mentors grow in skill and confidence over time.
Develop practical training materials tailored to mentor needs, including videos, process guides, templates, and quick-reference tools.
Review new lessons and activities before launch to confirm clarity, supply requirements, and fit within a 60-minute session.
Share implementation-focused feedback with the curriculum team so activities are designed for real classroom use.
Convert curriculum content into mentor-friendly training that explains not just what to teach, but how to deliver it successfully in practice.
Work alongside Regional Program Managers, who directly supervise mentors, by providing training assets while they handle local support and accountability.
Partner with the data team to identify what is working well and where mentors need more support, including analysis of struggled-with activities and dips in fidelity scores.
Design training content that matches how college students prefer to learn, using formats such as short videos, text-based tips, push notifications, and interactive modules.
Test new learning formats such as a training podcast, short video series, or LMS-based modules.
Stay informed about what motivates and engages college-aged mentors today, adjusting approaches as expectations and habits evolve.
Spend about 10–15% of your time in the field observing mentors, gathering feedback, and using those insights to improve training relevance and usefulness.
