Education Outreach Manager - Connecticut

Impact Teen Drivers is seeking a dynamic Connecticut-based Education Project Manager (EPM) to join our team and expand Impact Teen Drivers’ presence in the state of Connecticut. The Connecticut EPM can be located anywhere in the state of Connecticut. A leader in traffic safety education across the country, Impact Teen Drivers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that develops, promotes, and facilitates evidence-based education to stop the number one killer of teens—car crashes, particularly those caused by reckless and distracted driving. We seek to change the driving culture to one that is distraction-free—thereby saving lives not only in this generation, but in all future generations.

The Connecticut EPM will assist Impact Teen Drivers in connecting with teen safe driving champions across the state. From health teachers and public health professionals to first responders and school resource officers, the successful candidate will create strategies to build relationships with individuals who have access to teen and parent audiences. To succeed in this position, you must be a strong team player and be able to work independently. Ultimately, we are looking for a professional person with the highest level of integrity, someone who shares our passion for addressing the serious public health crisis of reckless and distracted driving, and who wants a stable position with an organization that considers its team members its greatest asset.
