Program Association ensures the high quality delivery of a dynamic full-day community based youth education and health promotion program in local hospitals in Bonnyville and Cold Lake. The ED reports to and works with the board of directors and sub-committees as required. The overall program focuses on preventing injuries and trauma, covering a wide range of behaviours typically relevant to youth, such as seatbelt use, helmet use, alcohol and other drug use, drinking and driving, ATV and snowmobile riding, partying, etc. It is therefore important that the ED enjoys and has demonstrated knowledge/experience working with youth in their community and has experience or formal training in education/health promotion/injury prevention.
