ABOUT WELLNESS WORX FOUNDATION

Wellness WoRx Foundation is dedicated to advancing health equity by ensuring communities have access to the education, resources, and connections that make well-care a way of life - meeting people where they are, supporting their whole-person wellness journey, and supporting them when healthcare access is needed.

We operate through locally embedded Community Engagement Liaisons who are already part of the communities they serve. This initiative connects community members in your city and the anchor event city to skin health education, community screening events featuring licensed clinical volunteer providers, and resource navigation support.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Wellness WoRx Foundation is producing a series of community skin health screening events - large-scale, high-volume activations where licensed volunteer providers conduct on-site clinical skin assessments. We need someone who can make these events happen: recruit the clinical volunteers who conduct screenings, fill the room with community members who need them, and ensure every person screened walks away with education and navigation support.

The strongest candidates will arrive with relationships. With the community. With healthcare systems. With the organizations and networks that can move people to action. There is no time in this engagement to build from zero. Day one, you activate what you already have.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

1. Community Network Activation

You are not starting a network - you are activating one you already have. We expect you to arrive with existing relationships across a broad range of businesses, organizations, and community institutions with demonstrated reach into the populations we serve.

• Deploy your existing network of community organizations, faith institutions, barbershops, salons, FQHCs, advocacy groups, and community centers - activating them immediately as event promoters and attendance drivers
• Leverage trusted intermediary (TCI) relationships to amplify event promotion through their networks - reaching deep into communities that traditional outreach cannot access
• Drive attendance to every screening event by tapping your existing relationships to pre-register community members and fill event capacity
• Show up directly in community spaces - barbershops, laundromats, church steps, community gatherings - as a recognized and trusted presence who people already know and approach

2. Clinical Volunteer Recruitment & Management

Screening events cannot happen without licensed providers. Recruiting and managing clinical volunteers is a primary deliverable of this role - not a secondary task. You must arrive with existing relationships to healthcare systems, clinical programs, or provider networks that you can activate immediately.

• Recruit licensed volunteer providers (MDs, NPs, PAs - dermatology preferred) through your existing healthcare system, hospital, FQHC, and clinical training program relationships
• Secure confirmed clinical coverage for every screening event at least 30 days in advance - no confirmed providers means no event
• Brief and coordinate volunteer providers on event protocols, screening scope, and documentation expectations before each event
• Maintain an active volunteer provider pipeline sufficient to staff all 10 screening events across the program period

3. Community Pop-Up Activations

Between screening events, monthly pop-up activations maintain community momentum and drive awareness. These are lighter-touch - the primary purpose is getting information about the initiative into the community, building name recognition, and feeding pre-registration for upcoming screening events.

• Host monthly community pop-ups at accessible venues - churches, barbershops, libraries, community centers - distributing initiative materials and promoting upcoming screening events
• Provide skin health education and condition awareness in plain language at every pop-up
• Where appropriate, offer care navigation conversations - helping individuals understand their skin health resources and next steps toward care
• Pre-register community members for upcoming screening events at every pop-up activation

4. Skin Health Screening Events - 10 Events, July-December

Ten large-scale anchor screening events will be hosted over the program period. You are required to travel to and actively staff both events.

• Produce 10 community skin health screening events between July and December 31, 2026 - at minimum 7 completed by September 30
• Recruit, confirm, and coordinate licensed volunteer providers for every event - dermatologists, NPs, and PAs conducting on-site clinical skin assessments
• Drive attendance at every event through your existing networks, TCI activation, pop-up pre-registration, and digital and print promotion
• Manage full event logistics - venue, staffing, materials, registration, signage, and volunteer provider coordination
• Staff or oversee the navigation station at every event - ensuring every person screened receives a resource guide and navigation conversation

5. Tracking, Data & Reporting

Every screening event generates data that must be captured accurately and reported on schedule. This is not optional - it is how we demonstrate program impact to funders and sponsors.

• Track number of patients screened at every event - captured at the point of screening, not estimated after the fact
• Record screening outcomes by condition - eczema/atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and alopecia areata documented separately for every event
• Track navigation follow-up - document who received a navigation conversation, what resources they were connected to, and follow up to determine who accessed care
• Submit activity reports with event data, attendance figures, volunteer provider status, and field observations immediately after events
• Deliver post-event summaries within 24 hours of each screening event with complete screening counts and condition breakdown

WHO YOU ARE

You are the person this community already knows. Your relationships in this city - with community members, organization leaders, and healthcare system contacts - are what make this program possible. You do not need an onboarding period to start producing results. You need a purpose and a timeline, and you deliver.

You are already:

• Embedded in the community with broad, existing relationships across a range of organizations, businesses, and institutions - faith communities, FQHCs, community centers, barbershops, salons, advocacy groups, and social service providers
• Connected to healthcare systems - you have active relationships with hospitals, academic medical centers, clinical training programs, or private practices from which you can recruit licensed volunteer providers immediately. If you don't have these connections in this city, do not apply.
• Proven at fast activation - you have launched community programs, events, or initiatives before and have the metrics to show for it. You know how to go from concept to execution in weeks.
• A trusted face in the community - not just known to organizational leaders, but recognized and approached by everyday community members in the spaces where they live, worship, and gather
• Disciplined with data - you track what you do, report accurately, and understand that numbers are the proof of impact
• Capable of running independently - this role is not supervised day-to-day. You own your deliverables and drive results without hand-holding
• Experienced in health navigation or community health - you can speak to insurance, care access, and referral pathways without hesitation
• Bilingual English/Spanish a strong plus
• Community Health Worker (CHW) certification, clinical background, or social work experience preferred

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AT 90 DAYS

By end of September (Month 3):

• At least 7 of 10 screening events completed
• Minimum 700 individuals screened across completed events
• Condition-specific screening data captured for every event - eczema, psoriasis, and alopecia areata tracked separately
• Licensed volunteer provider confirmed for all remaining events through December
• Navigation follow-up initiated for all screened individuals from completed events

By end of December (Month 6):

• All 10 screening events completed
• Minimum 1000+ individuals screened across the full program period
• 100% of screened individuals with documented navigation conversation and resource guide received
• Follow-up documented for screened individuals who accessed care
• All reports delivered on time with accurate, complete data

ENGAGEMENT TERMS

This is an independent contractor engagement. The Community Engagement Strategist is responsible for their own taxes and does not receive employee benefits. The contractor will invoice bi-weekly at $25.00/hour, not to exceed 20 hours per week without prior written approval. Travel to screening events and anchor events is required and reimbursed at the current IRS mileage rate.

The contractor will sign a Consulting Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement. All program materials, partner agreements, and community data developed under this engagement are the property of Wellness WoRx Foundation.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is a field-first role. Approximately 80-90% of working hours are spent in the community - at screening events, pop-up activations, community gatherings, partner meetings, and healthcare system outreach. The remaining ~15% is administrative work (reporting, scheduling, communications) performed remotely from a home office maintained at the contractor's own expense.

Wellness WoRx Foundation will provide a company tablet for field and program use. Contractors are responsible for their own internet connectivity, home office setup, and any personal equipment beyond the provided tablet.

HOW TO APPLY

Submit a résumé and a written introduction. We want to understand the depth and relevance of your experience, so be specific. Generic applications will not be considered.

Your application must address:

Who you know - describe your existing community relationships and your healthcare system connections in this city. Be specific about organizations, institutions, and the nature of the relationships. Do not summarize - give us the detail.

What you've activated - describe 2-3 programs or initiatives you have run. Include the metrics: how many people attended, how many were reached, what was the measurable outcome. We want numbers, not narratives.

How fast you can move - tell us specifically what you could have in place within your first 30 days. We are not looking for a plan. We are looking for proof that you already have the infrastructure to execute one.
