We're hiring a Health Educator! Join the Whole Health Team as the Tompkins County coordinator for the Advancing Tobacco-Free Communities (AFTC) grant and administering JUUL Settlement funding. The ATFC role works with Cortland and Chenango counties to continue the initiatives that Tobacco Free Tompkins has developed for more than 25 years. The candidate will be innovative and committed to further developing comprehensive tobacco control efforts that include public education campaigns, youth engagement, retail and marketing restrictions, and proven policy strategies that are essential to counter the influence of tobacco industry marketing and reinforce consistent smoke-free norms.
The Health Educator will also coordinate the implementation of JUUL Settlement funds in Tompkins County. Interventions will be focused on 1) public awareness campaigns to prevent youth vaping (e-cigarette use) and promote penalties for sales to minors and regulations for businesses that sell vape products, 2) evidence-based tobacco training for professionals who work with youth, 3) evidence-based youth vaping cessation programs, and 4) conduct surveillance on youth vaping and vape products. Youth vaping continues to be a concern in Tompkins County with 22% of 12th graders reporting nicotine vape use in their lifetime. The funding will be used to remediate the harm caused by vaping and prevent future initiation.
