General Information:

The Gus Bus is hiring for a part-time Program Specialist. The Gus Bus focuses on out-of-school learning that supports the academic achievement of elementary-aged students in the local community. The Gus Bus is one of many programs and clinics within the Institute for Innovation in Health and Human Services (IIHHS). IIHHS is an interdisciplinary community-engaged hub that brings together students, staff, faculty, and the community to advance a culture of health and equity through education, clinical practice, research, innovative programs and advocacy. IIHHS is housed within JMU‘s College of Health and Behavioral Studies (CHBS).

We are especially interested in qualified candidates with a demonstrated commitment toward building equitable and inclusive environments. IIHHS‘ Culture, Community, and Belonging Collective (CCBC) meets monthly to advance several inclusive excellence initiatives.
