Position: Youth Nutrition Intern (Helen Keller)__Deadline:20-March

Location:  Phnom Penh

 

Guided by the remarkable legacy of its co-founder, Helen Keller, Helen Keller Intl (Helen Keller) partners with communities that are striving to overcome longstanding cycles of poverty.
By delivering the essential building blocks of good health, sound nutrition, and clear vision, we help millions of people create lasting change in their own lives. Working in 20 countries – across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the United States – and together with a global community of supporters, we ensure every person has the opportunity – as Helen did – to reach their true potential.

With funding from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, our country programs are implementing a suite of five lifesaving health services: supplementing women with essential vitamins and minerals during pregnancy, supporting optimal breastfeeding, improving diets for infants and young children, screening children for acute malnutrition and getting treatment to them as early as possible and delivering vitamin A.

Our program, known as Transforming Lives, also drives complementary food systems actions that improve women’s diets, protect and promote the diets of infants and young children, and secure access to essential nutrients.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is sponsoring a cohort of one-year internships in the countries where Transforming Lives is being implemented. The program is adapted to the context of each country, and the specific elements of the five lifesaving interventions will vary accordingly. As a result, the details of each internship will vary according to the needs of the country. The common thread of the internships is that each intern will be recruited from a country where the program is active, and they will contribute to the learning agenda of that country's program.

The Youth Nutrition Intern will be employed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and seconded to Helen Keller Cambodia, where they will be supervised by the Youth Engagement and Communications Lead.
