What is it like working as a Program Coordinator, Non-Profit Organization?
December 2014
Great environment, meaningful work, laughable employee pay.
Program Coordinator, Non-Profit Organization:
Pros: I love working on a program that I care about that is stimulating. I know the harder I work, the more good I can do to help my community and the environment. I also greatly value the relationships and work environment within my department at this position.
Cons: My organization shows little to no interest in investing in its human capital. The phrase "everyone is replaceable" has actually been said out loud to me.

Intern/Work While In School!
Program Coordinator, Non-Profit Organization:
Health Education is a great field, but it really helps to have experience even for entry level jobs. Work in the field while in school, even if unpaid (volunteer or internship). Also, if you want to work in a hospital or government agency then work toward your CHES while in school and take the test, etc.
