RDN Trip Lead Application

Thank you for your interest in serving as a Registered Dietitian Team Lead with NEEM. This application is used to identify leaders for both international and domestic nutrition outreach programs. Depending on the position, Team Leads may serve internationally through established NEEM partnerships or lead domestic initiatives by developing community partnerships and coordinating nutrition education efforts. Your desire to serve means a lot to us and we're grateful you're considering being part of NEEM's mission. 🙂 Please select the position(s) you are genuinely interested in pursuing at this time. If you are currently only interested in one specific opportunity (such as the India Team Lead position), that's completely okay and will not affect your eligibility for future international or domestic leadership or volunteer opportunities with NEEM. We understand life circumstances and interests changes, so we would love to keep the door open for future ways to serve together.
