Opportunities

Become a SRTH AmeriCorps Member

Members will serve as Community Liaison Coordinators that will increase the capacity for health education and community outreach within their host site. Members will commit their time to promote healthy futures: they will fill gaps and enhance assets in underserved, low-income communities to help residents gain access to supportive environments for healthy eating and physical activity. Each member is assigned a site supervisor who provides mentorship, supervision, and access to professional development opportunities at the host site. Members also participate in ongoing professional development, team building, and at least two outside/group service activities with the SRTH statewide team. Members will receive training in a variety of areas to support service projects, gain valuable skills, and real-world experience. Members will serve on average 20-25 hours per week for a total of 900 hours between October 2022-September 2023.

About us

Michigan Fitness Foundation offers a variety of nutrition and physical education resources that inspire children, teens, and adults to lead healthier lives. The Safe Routes to Health (SRTH) AmeriCorps program, administered by the Michigan Fitness Foundation, engages 12 members statewide to address unmet health needs in underserved, low-income communities in Michigan. Our members promote healthy futures by supporting healthy eating and physical activity related initiatives. It was developed by assessing both barriers to healthy living and opportunities to overcome those barriers.
