Intern Position (School Sector) | Nemours | Newark, DE

Nemours Health and Prevention Services (NHPS) headquartered in Newark, Delaware, works with families and communities to help children grow up healthy, both physically and emotionally. It is a division of Nemours, a non-profit organization dedicated to children's health and health care that offers treatment services, research and training programs in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. Health and Prevention is Nemours' newest division, created to expand its reach beyond clinical care to consider the health of the whole child within his or her family and community.

NHPS work currently focuses on two health topics: Healthy Eating/Physical Activity (HEPA) and Emotional/Behavioral Health (EBH). We work toward integrated policy, practice, and program change in four sectors in the State of Delaware: child care, schools, primary health care and communities. Online at http://www.GrowUpHealthy.org The Intern position resides in the Center for Research and Evaluation (CER).

Availability; (12 months)

This particular position will work with the School Sector. Currently NHPS is working to formalize the role of schools in promoting student health. Congress passed Federal Public Law 108.265 Section 204 in June 2004 requiring schools participating in the National School Lunch/Breakfast Program to develop a local wellness policy to be implemented by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. As a result of this law, NHPS is working with all 19 districts in Delaware to assist them in both strengthening and implementing their respective wellness policies.

Although NHPS is working directly with districts rather than schools, contact with the schools is essential in order to ensure a useful and accurate evaluation. The selected individual will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Wellness Policy for each district to which he/she is assigned. As part of this responsibility, the individual will be responsible for conducting interviews with both district level and school level staff, assisting with observations when necessary; assisting with the implementation of the statewide school sector survey; participating in meetings; assisting with the writing and editing of documents; and making presentations when necessary.

This particular position will work with the lead evaluator for the School Sector in implementing the evaluation plan. The duties will include, but are not limited to: data collection; analysis of data collected using SPSS and Nvivo or other qualitative software package; recording of activities performed by high impact, strategic, and community partners and the delivery of 5-2-1-Almost None messaging materials; attending social marketing meetings with internal and external groups; writing and editing interim and final reports; and, conducting presentations when necessary
