State Coordinator Responsibilities
State partnering organizations implement LifeSmarts at the state level, which includes marketing and promoting LifeSmarts in their states, serving as the local contact for their state's coaches, and planning and conducting the annual in-person state LifeSmarts competition.
LifeSmarts is a flexible program that allows State Coordinators and partnering organizations to implement the program in a way that best fits the needs, resources and educational climate of a state.
