Reimagining Justice in Cully: Community Development Specialist

6 days ago

Portland, Oregon, United States Native American Youth And Family Center Full time

About Us

NAYA Family Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving Urban Native youth and families. We are seeking a highly collaborative community organizer or community leader to be our Reimagining Justice in Cully Project Coordinator.

Job Summary

This is a highly visible and highly collaborative role that aims to convene members of the Cully neighborhood, law enforcement, and local government to explore alternative approaches to public safety. As a member of NAYA's Community Development department, you will work closely with project partners, including Multnomah County's Local Public Safety Council (LPSCC), Commissioner Jayapal, and community organizations. You will facilitate regular communication and coordination between project partners to ensure smooth implementation and progress towards project goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as a member of the Reimagining Justice Leadership Team.
  • Act as project coordinator for the RJC project, setting plans and timelines and helping others to meet their project commitments.
  • Develop strong relationships with project partners and facilitate regular communication and coordination.
  • Develop a community outreach plan to reach Cully residents and community members who have not been heard from before.
  • Utilize a human-centered design approach to engage Cully residents in identifying priorities and crafting community-led solutions.
  • Facilitate community engagement activities such as meetings, workshops, and focus groups.
  • Establish mutually respectful relationships between yourself and members of Portland Police Bureau.
  • Ensure alignment with the Transforming Justice Project core strategies and objectives.
  • Provide regular updates and reports to the Reimagining Justice Leadership Team and other stakeholders.

About the Role

This role requires at least two years' experience in community organizing, community development, or justice reform. You should have lived or worked experience with historically marginalized/historically resilient communities. Ideally, you have a strong connection to the Cully community. Experience working with police is not required, but is helpful. If you speak another language, it's a plus. You must be able to hold space for police participants, bringing them back into the conversation so that community wounds can heal. You should also have experience facilitating group meetings, working with groups of community partners, and writing compelling reports and recommendations.

Benefits

NAYA offers an exceptional benefits package, including free medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and affordable care for family members. You will also receive a 401(k) retirement plan with a 6% match, paid vacation, and paid holidays. This role works at NAYA's Saxali office (4636 NE 42nd Avenue) with work hours of 9 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday, with a one-hour unpaid lunch. After training and onboarding are complete, working from home on Mondays and Fridays is acceptable. As is typical of community development roles, attending evening meetings and occasional weekend events is required. The estimated salary for this role is $62,500 per year.

What We Offer

NAYA is committed to building a work environment that respects and inspires every community member. We strongly encourage Native people to apply and welcome applications from members of other historically marginalized groups, including women, people of color, those with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who have served in the military.
