Climate Change & Environmental Justice Specialist
 
 
 
The National Network of Public Health Institute Public Health (NNPHI) AmeriCorps Program is recruiting members for service positions that will strengthen local community resiliency and adaptation efforts to address the impacts of climate change. NNPHI Public Health AmeriCorps Program has partnered with the Hawai‘i Public Health Institute (HIPHI) to implement local climate advocacy and community resiliency projects. The Hawai‘i Public Health Institute (HIPHI) is a statewide nonprofit organization that began in 1996, then known as the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawai‘i. In 2012, the organization moved from a singular focus on tobacco issues to a broader public health mission and became the first and only public health institute serving Hawai‘i. Their work has broadened to include: food and agriculture, transportation and public safety, oral health, healthy eating + active living (HEAL), drug and alcohol prevention, tobacco, COVID-19 response efforts, and workforce development. HIPHI continues to be a bridge between the community and partners from government and health care so that all relevant stakeholders throughout the Hawaiian Islands are involved in decisions related to public health policy, programs, and investments. HIPHI believes we can play a significant role in the shift of public health from being primarily about treating disease to the promotion of preventing it.
