Are you passionate about building bridges between communities and local resources? Do you have strong connections with Latino/a/x residents in Whatcom County? Are you bilingual in Spanish and English and ready to make a difference? We’d love to work with you!
About the Project
This role supports a public health outreach and engagement campaign with Whatcom County’s Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Program. The goal?

We’re focused on listening, learning, and collaborating—with the people who live this experience every day.

Connecting with Latino/a/x residents across the county—including youth, families, rural residents, farmworkers, and small business owners.
Gathering insights through community conversations, interviews, and listening sessions.
Partnering with trusted leaders and organizations to co-create messaging and strategies.
Supporting culturally relevant workshops, events, and focus groups.
Reviewing and shaping outreach materials in collaboration with the project team.
Making sure our messages are clear, inclusive, and truly useful to the community.

Are fluent in both Spanish and English.
Have strong relationships and trust in Whatcom County’s Latino/a/x community.
Know how to listen deeply and communicate with care.
Are comfortable working independently and managing a flexible schedule.
Have basic digital skills (texting, email, Google Docs, etc.).
Bonus points if you’ve worked in outreach, public health, education, or organizing. But most important is your connection to the community and your commitment to helping it thrive.
