Community Engagement Facilitator Contract

In the wake of continued Black deaths at the hands of law enforcement, Black Oregonians have started to think further about the systems and structures we need to truly keep us safe. We identified the need for space and time to reimagine what safety could look like for our community and for all Oregonians. Between the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide calls to transform the public safety system, we have an opportunity to build better systems and to meet the core needs of Oregonians, especially those of us who are most vulnerable. Reimagining Public Safety Project is a community-led, Black-centered effort to do just that, supported by public and philanthropic dollars, and engaging Oregonians from across the state.

The workshop facilitator plays a pivotal role in guiding participants through collaborative learning experiences, ensuring engagement, comprehension, and practical application of workshop content. With adept communication and interpersonal skills, they foster an inclusive environment conducive to open dialogue and idea exchange. Proficiency in time management and organizational skills allows them to effectively structure activities, manage discussions, and address participant questions or concerns. Additionally, they possess strong leadership qualities, empowering participants to contribute meaningfully while maintaining focus on workshop objectives.

The Facilitator works directly with the Community Engagement Strategist and the Community Engagement Manager; and reports to Community Engagement Manager.
