About the role
The Community Development Extension Educator supports Eau Claire, Chippewa, and Dunn County governments in addressing county priorities through research-based education, facilitation, community engagement, and organizational and leadership development. The Educator works closely with county leadership to identify emerging needs, establish priorities, and advance initiatives that address locally identified opportunities and challenges. Priority issues may vary among the three counties over time. Whenever possible, the Educator will work with county leadership to align priorities across the three counties to maximize impact and reduce the number of priority issues the Educator is supporting. Priorities will be established in partnership with county leadership and Extension program leadership and revisited regularly to ensure the scope and workload remain focused and manageable across the three counties. The main office for this position is located in Eau Claire, WI with a primary programming focus of Eau Claire, Chippewa, and Dunn counties; however, some programming may also be conducted over a broader geographical area. It is anticipated this position requires work be performed in-person, onsite, at a designated campus work location.
