Presently, NYC youth receive less than the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day.
Through the Up2Us Coaches term of service, we look to change that by providing opportunities for all

establishing a combination of team-building and social emotional activities that increases the youth’s
confidence and self- awareness while building a healthy relationship with fitness.


We are looking for people like you, who lead an active lifestyle and are passionate and feel inspired about
designing and evaluating physical health and activity programs and who are willing to roll up their sleeves,

meeting minutes, determining strategies and sourcing opportunities to support physical activity program
objectives in NYC schools, organizations and communities’ wellness councils. Duties will include:


• Attending and documenting program partner meetings, observations, and trainings
• Providing feedback to CEO and Associate about recommendations for program partners to improve
on their wellness goals (health, nutrition, and physical activity)
• Researching and reporting back on resources that can help support program partners in achieving
their wellness goals
• Develop a survey tool to understand perceptions and desires related to school meals
• Comfortable working in a school environment and fostering relationships with elementary and middle
school age youth and teachers
• Become familiar with research and resources related to health disparities and importance of school
wellness
• Administrative and program team support with current projects, including Creating Healthy
Schools and Communities, Active Recess Environments, Active Design for Outdoor Learning, and
Play and Faith-Based Organization Walking Programs and Fitness Hubs
• Working with Equity Design and Elementary/Middle and High School partner schools in
designing, building, facilitating, and evaluating a culture of wellness through push-in physical
activity programming during in-school and Physical Education classes
• Assist with the design of Physical Education scope and sequence and lead and facilitate
