Are you Ready to Launch Your Career? 🚀

Join us in our mission as a Reality Check Lead at Catholic Charities of Fulton & Montgomery Counties.

At Catholic Charities hiring decisions are personal. So personal, in fact, that every application is screened by a member of the HR team or a trained hiring manger!

Do you like working with teens? Do you enjoy public speaking? How about social media? Can you think outside of the box? Can you work cohesively and with one or more individuals at a time? How about working in or with a team? Can you find new or interesting ways of sharing ideas and information? Do you like to be challenged?

We are seeking ambitious, creative, communicative go-getter for a full-time Reality Check Coordinator position at Catholic Charities of Fulton and Montgomery Counties. Candidate will be working in identified locations within Fulton, Montgomery and Hamilton Counties to engage teens 13-18 in conversations about tobacco programming and policies. We work in identified locations but also with other coordinators around the state and city of NY. This is not an anti-smoker program. A goal is to foster supportive environments and individuals who can help prevent or reduce tobacco use, and implement community norms that support tobacco free communities.

Candidate must have creativity, willingness to learn, be trainable, and have some experience working with a variety of people in community and/ or business settings. Candidate must be able to actively communicate with a variety of individuals, and seek assistance when needed.

As the Reality Check Lead, you will play a pivotal role in individuals' lives, making a significant impact through:

Engage, build and maintain relationships with local youth and adults, businesses, elected officials and organizations (such as local coalitions, hospitals, youth, adults, chambers of commerce, mayors, councilmen, business executives, etc.) to participate in Advancing Tobacco Free Community (ATFC) efforts.
Disseminate tobacco related information in community venues and at community events.
Contribute to the science of tobacco control through the collection of evaluation data from youth and adults in the catchment area.
