The member will support the Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion program’s Youth Advisory Board (YAB) to engage young people in assessing opinions through lived, shared experience, polls and social research, and present the results to local leaders and other key stakeholders who influence their lives. The YAB consists of community members (ages 14-19) who strive to address issues affecting Multnomah County youth. YAB members provide recommendations to address the complex societal issues that perpetuate differences in health outcomes. The program focuses on preventable causes of early death and disability in Multnomah County, creating a culture that affirms and advocates for health and justice of youth. The program works in neighborhoods with the highest rates of disease and other key health indicators, crime/youth violence, and socioeconomic disparities. The AmeriCorps member will support community-informed planning and decision-making, training and technical assistance to build school and community partner capacity, and communications. With the innovative public health work happening in Oregon, Portland is a wonderful place to explore a future in public health. The OHA VISTA Partnership Project is committed to building a diverse workforce. We encourage candidates from communities of color, disability, LGBTQIA, and linguistically diverse populations to consider application to our positions.
