HIV Alliance Education & Outreach AmeriCorps VISTA (Eugene)
 
 
 
This position joins Oregon Health Authority’s statewide AmeriCorps VISTA team. In addition to activities at your individual site, each member receives additional orientation, training throughout the year, team meetings, and the support of the team leaders and project director based at the state public health agency. For more information about the Oregon Health Authority AmeriCorps VISTA Partnership Project, please visit: http://healthoregon.org/vista. Selections are made on a rolling basis and early applications are strongly encouraged. The last day to submit an application is Sunday, July 17th, 2022. HIV Alliance’s Education Program provides culturally responsive, scientifically accurate, nonjudgmental, and culturally specific and responsive sexual health education for young people at risk for HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The program reaches youth in Lane, Marion, and Douglas Counties and serves a diverse student population. The purpose of this program is to raise awareness of HIV, HCV, and other STIs as well as how they can be prevented in an effort to protect young people from acquiring STIs, reduce stigma, and reduce STI-related health disparities in our state broadly. In response to an increase in overdoses among young people in our service area, we have also begun to provide overdose prevention/reversal trainings to at-risk youth. With the innovative public health work happening in Oregon, Eugene is a wonderful place to explore a future in public health. You will gain experience collaborating with a range of staff working across different departments and engage directly with community partners working to address the opioid and overdose crisis in Oregon. The OHA AmeriCorps VISTA Partnership Project is committed to building a diverse workforce to strengthen our work in Oregon communities. We value applicants who can bring lived experience to further OHA’s strategic goal to eliminate health inequities by 2030.
