About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world.

Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.
Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries.

About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change.
The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.
Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of nearly 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 85 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe. We remain committed—today and always— to all of our Fellows and to expanding our outreach to lower-resourced communities.

The Oregon Health Authority has a fantastic opportunity for a Community Engagement Coordinator to join an excellent team build strong relationships with Oregon communities and work to advance agency operations.
This position falls under the Classification Operations & Policy Analyst 2.
WHAT YOU WILL DO!
As a Community Engagement Coordinator, you will develop, implement, coordinate, monitor and evaluate InCK Model community engagement (with internal and community-based programs) and activities which promote, establish, support and institutionalize a focus on integrating equity in processes as well as outcomes to eliminate racial and ethnic inequities in health and health care services in communities facing most inequities in Oregon, including Tribes.
Oregon’s InCK Model is a priority, federal-state collaborative focused on improving child and youth health outcomes in a five-county target region with a total budget of up to $17 million dollars over seven years. Funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the work of the InCK Model aligns with Oregon’s 1115 waiver, Oregon Health Policy Board priorities, CCO 2.0 priorities, the state’s Early Learning Strategic Plan, and the goals of the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet. The InCK Model employs a strong focus on embedding health equity and advancing integrated, family-centered care coordination across physical health, behavioral health and health-related social services. Oregon’s InCK Model goals are to reduce out-of-home placements for children, support family resilience, reduce unnecessary health care costs, and eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in children’s health and health care services.
