About You

You are an early-career public health or community health professional with a strong interest in health systems strengthening and youth entrepreneurship. You are eager to gain hands-on experience supporting real-world project implementation across community and county levels.

You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable supporting multiple activities at once — from coordinating trainings and meetings to documenting reports and tracking outputs. You enjoy working in structured environments where timelines, reporting, and accountability matter.

You are proactive and willing to take initiative, but also comfortable working under supervision and learning from experienced team members. You communicate clearly in writing and verbally, and you understand the importance of accurate documentation, data tracking, and follow-through.

You are motivated by contributing to community-level impact and strengthening primary health care systems, and you are ready to grow professionally while supporting the AHC project team to deliver high-quality results.
