Goodwill PHA - Our Place Portland Resource Coordinator

The mission of Our Place Portland Inc. is to support the healthy development of youth and families using a humanistic, family-centered, and research-based approach. Our Place Portland Inc. supports the public health and development of youth and families in the Kennedy Park community in Portland and surrounding neighborhoods through high-impact programs designed for/by community members. Our programs serve vulnerable youth ages 5-14, with more than 50% identified as having special education needs and all learning English as a second language. Programs include Youth Mentorship Groups focused on social-emotional skills and health; Community Summer Camps for younger youth; a Mentors in Training program for middle schoolers; and Family Advocacy Services that provide individualized support, social connections, and access to fresh food through the Local Love Food Share and partnerships with basic needs nonprofits. Located in Portland’s Bayside neighborhood, we serve families from diverse racial, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds, the majority of whom live in public or subsidized housing. Many families have lived in the U.S. for 5-10 years and face barriers to health, education, and economic stability. The Public Health AmeriCorps member will support our Family Advocacy and Youth Mentorship services by helping procure food and basic needs materials while assisting with youth and family health initiatives.
