Inclusive Engagement Specialist, Northampton, MA
https://www.collaborative.org/employment/inclusive-engagement-specialist-healthy-families-and-communities
The Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) is seeking an Inclusive
Engagement Specialist to work collaboratively with the Department of Healthy
Families and Communities staff and community partners to co-design, implement and evaluate a program to increase representation, inclusivity and power at the level of governance amongst youth and adults most negatively impacted by systems of oppression.
Who We Are: The Department of Healthy Families and Communities (HFC) carries out community health activities that underpin and support strong educational and health outcomes for all members of the community. HFC houses a number of public health coalitions and programs, including the SPIFFY Coalition, Healthy Hampshire, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and the Hampshire-Franklin Tobacco-Free Community Partnership. HFC also provides consultation on a range of public health initiatives in the region, including the Western Mass Hospital Association's Community Health Needs Assessment and technical assistance for Drug-Free Communities grantees.
We value: Relationship building, undoing systems of white dominance,
accessibility, authenticity, supporting others to realize their agency to
create change, and long-term, collaborative, multi-sectoral change processes
that are rooted in community. Social Justice and Equity work is central to
our mission, especially in these times. We understand that all forms of
oppression are damaging. We engage in this work proactively and purposefully,
with the intent of positive outcomes, and because we need to.
This is you:
- You are ready to work independently and as part of a coordinated team.
- You are able to manage multiple projects, paying attention to both process
and outcomes.
- You are a skilled facilitator, adept at relationship building and process
design.
- You have a passion for working with agencies, municipalities, youth and
community residents to increase representation, inclusion and power for people
most impacted by health inequities.
- You are enthusiastic about working with people from a wide range of
backgrounds, sectors, and identities
- You enjoy reaching out to new people and organizations and establishing
effective working relationships
- You are committed to social and racial justice and equity
- When engaging with others, you listen deeply and respond respectfully;
considering differences in power, privilege, culture and language
Highlights of what you will do:
- Conduct an assessment of models and practices focused on shared power,
governance, inclusion, conflict transformation, policies, systems and
environmental changes that address structural racism, promote equitable and
inclusive civic engagement and shift power within municipal and nonprofit
settings.
- Design and facilitate a multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder collaboration of
municipal/agency representatives, grassroots community group representatives,
youth and community residents to create a strategic plan that will guide the
implementation of the program.
- Develop and implement a training program/curriculum for youth and adults
that will support partners of all sectors, identities and backgrounds to
develop the understanding, skills and practice to design and implement
governance structures that embrace shared power models.
Salary Range: $60,000-$65,000
