Community Health Educator- Grand Rapids

Save to Favorites

Empower adults to change their lives. Facilitators deliver the National Diabetes Prevention Program using curriculum developed by the CDC. Facilitators will help participants develop and maintain the skills needed to adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits, and support participants by providing information, encouraging progress, and working with the group to address any challenges or barriers that arise.

The Program is a year long program. The first portion of the program consists of 16 one hour core sessions that meet weekly, followed by 6 one hour post-core sessions that meet monthly. Facilitators receive free training and certification to implement the program and do not need to be health care professionals. A per session stipend is provided to facilitators.
