NCC's Planning SMARTer financial literacy program, based out of the Monroe Campus in Tannersville, PA, is looking for "Debt Reduction" workshop instructors. Ideal candidates will have a solid knowledge base of different types of debt (credit card debt, educational debt, housing debt) and basic debt reduction strategies. Successful "Debt Reduction" workshop instructors will also be confident in their understanding of debt basics and embody self-efficacy in their ability to help others learn how to tackle debt, making it less burdensome. Preference will be given to candidates with a self-reported history of meeting personal financial goals (significantly reducing or eliminating credit card/student loan debt; started saving/identified savings as a priority while navigating with minimal financial resources). Applicants must have an understanding of how the social determinants of health (economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, social and community context) impact individual health and quality of life. Understanding of SMART goal strategies preferred. Bilingual preferred but not required. Formal teaching experience NOT required.

Responsibilities include:

• Delivering Planning SMARTer's "Debt Reduction" workshop with groups of 10-12 community members via Zoom, fostering a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment for program participants
• Facilitating small group (2-4 person) breakout sessions via Zoom as part of "Debt Reduction" workshop
• Collaborating with Program Coordinator during workshop in administering program assessments among participants
