About this role
Who We Are
We're HealthCorps - a national non-profit organization committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through programming that includes innovative and engaging experiences for teens in education, leadership, and service learning. At the heart of our model in near-peer mentorship: we partner with local colleges and universities to deploy college-age mentors into schools, where they connect with students in a way that few others can, as relatable role models who inspire teens to become change agents within their families, schools and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional, and physical challenges.
Our values drive the work we do here at HealthCorps. We are mission-obsessed, have an entrepreneurial mindset, value that our people are our power, know that teamwork makes the dream work, and believe that there is empowerment in influencing change, both within our teams as well as the communities we serve.
Where You Fit In
HealthCorps reaches tens of thousands of students every year, learning about nutrition, mental health, and fitness from our college mentors. This new role is the connective tissue between curriculum design and program delivery â ensuring what we build lands with the mentors who deliver it and the students they serve.
Our curriculum team builds great health education content, and our college mentors, supported by their Regional Manager, bring it to life with students. As HealthCorps' Learning & Development Specialist, you'll own the mentor training and development experience and collaborate across departments to keep it best-in-class. You'll coach mentors to be confident, skilled facilitators of the curriculum. You'll also build their fluency in the program administration that surrounds it: activity logs, proof of programming, photos and stories, and site communication. You'll partner with our curriculum team to pressure-test activities before they hit the field, so what we ask mentors to deliver is realistic given the time, setting, and training they have. Mentors work across both classroom and club-based settings with middle and high school students, each with their own dynamics and engagement levels, and our training needs to account for all of it.
This role is also a professional development engine for our mentors, many of whom are pre-health students heading into careers in medicine, public health, and healthcare. The coaching and training you provide will shape not just their time at HealthCorps, but how they show up as future healthcare professionals.
You'll report to the Manager of Mentor Experience and partner closely with our curriculum, program, and evaluation teams.

What You'll Do
Drive Mentor Training & Development
- Design and deliver onboarding that prepares mentors for the range of settings they'll work in how to run a great session, engage students across various ages, and handle the unexpected across both larger classroom environments and smaller club settings.
- Build ongoing professional development that supports mentors' ability to deliver the program with growing ease and mastery including office hours, live monthly sessions, and coaching check-ins.
- Develop practical, mentor-ready resources (videos, how-to guides, templates, quick-reference sheets) built for how mentors work.
- Review new lesson plans and activities before rollout: Is this clear? Will mentors have the right supplies? Does it fit a 60-minute period?
- Provide feedback that helps the curriculum team design for real-world implementation.
- Translate curriculum into mentor-ready training: turn the lesson plan into the "here's how you actually run this" version.
- Partner with Regional Program Managers who directly supervise mentors. You provide the training tools; they provide local support and accountability.
- Work with the data team to understand what's working and what's not: which activities are mentors struggling with? Where do fidelity scores dip?
- Design training that fits how college students consume content: short videos, push notifications, text-based tips, interactive modules.
- Experiment with new formats, from a mentor training podcast to a quick-tip video series to LMS modules.
- Stay current on what motivates and engages this generation of mentors; what worked five years ago doesn't necessarily work now.
- Spend roughly 10-15% of your time observing mentors, talking with them about their experience, and using what you learn to make training more practical, more useful, and more responsive to what they actually need.
