ABOUT COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS AT FFLC: FOOD For Lane County (FFLC) serves 85,000+ people across Lane County each year. About 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 5 children in Lane County are unable to meet their food needs from day to day.

Those we serve include families, veterans, unhoused, marginalized, disabled, seniors, and anyone with low/no income.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a core component of these programs.
SUMMARY OF POSITION: The Community Nutrition Educator is a part-time hybrid position that will play a vital role in supporting the health and nutrition goals of low-income families and individuals in Lane County. By delivering nutrition education to individuals and groups, the Community Nutrition Educator will help participants learn to prepare nutritious meals, maximize food resources, and access local food assistance programs.

This position offers a flexible schedule with scalable hours and workload based on community needs. We anticipate the role will grow in tandem with our new community health programming.
