Join the team at Health by Design! We're hiring a full time Office and Event Assistant to support our organizational operations. If you're interested in joining an upbeat team, balancing routine and variety in your work, and moving Indiana's health and connectivity forward, this is the job for you.

Congratulations to our friends at the Indiana Departments of Health, Transportation, and Natural Resources! The Safe Routes Partnership recently selected this cross-agency team, along with only two other recipients nationwide, to participate in the new Safe Routes to Parks Accelerator program.

The Accelerator helps staff from state departments collaborate to enhance safe, convenient, and equitable walking and biking options to parks and other greenspaces. The Indiana team has already been vital in supporting active living workshops throughout the state. We're excited to see their work recognized at a national level and for all the Safe Routes work to come!

Congratulations to our partners at IUPUI Sustainability on their Bike Friendly University designation! This national recognition was given to four new universities this year. We’re proud of IUPUI’s commitment to fostering a safe and welcoming bicycling culture on campus!
