  • Assist in promoting Healthy Teen Relationships programs to prevent teen dating violence and other forms of abuse.
  • Coordinate and implement primary prevention initiatives in schools, youth organizations, and the broader community.
  • Collaborate with the Orange County Domestic Violence Task Force (OCDVTF) to enhance community prevention strategies and improve knowledge of dating violence prevention.
  • Deliver presentations and training sessions to school staff, students, parents, and community members on domestic violence prevention, healthy relationship skills, and the importance of addressing ACEs in violence prevention.
  • Establish partnerships with schools, community groups, and other stakeholders to support and expand prevention efforts across Central Florida.
  • Assist in developing new prevention programs, activities, and outreach strategies aimed at reducing teen dating violence and improving community awareness.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Public Administration, Education, Social Services, or a related field preferred (professional experience may substitute for education at the CEO's discretion).
  • 1-3 years of experience in community-based programs, presentations, and training; experience working with schools or youth-focused programs is preferred.
  • Knowledge of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their long-term impact on children and teens, especially in relation to domestic violence prevention.
  • Strong public speaking and presentation skills, with experience leading group discussions and educational programs.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel for creating presentations and managing program data.
  • Excellent written communication skills for professional correspondence and program documentation.
  • Must hold a valid Florida Driver's License and be eligible for coverage under the agency's insurance policy.
  • Completion of CORE Competency training within 30 days of hire is required.

  • Ability to build strong relationships with schools, community partners, and task force members.
  • Comfortable working in classroom, community-based, and virtual settings with diverse youth and adult audiences.
