About the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB)
The Northwest Tribes have long recognized the need to exercise control over the design and development of health care delivery systems in their local communities. To this end, they formed the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (also referred to as NPAIHB or “the Board”) in 1972.
Guided by a vision of “Health and Wellness for the Seventh Generation,” NPAIHB is a 501(c)3 designated (non-profit) organization and Tribal organization, P.L. 93-638, under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) serving the 43 federally recognized Tribes in the states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (Northwest Tribes). Tribes become voting members of the Board through resolutions passed by their governing body. Each member Tribe designates a delegate to serve on the NPAIHB Board of Directors.
Led by our Board of Directors, NPAIHB’s mission is to “eliminate health disparities and improve the quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Natives by supporting Northwest Tribes in their delivery of culturally appropriate, high-quality health programs and services.” We have a staff of over 120 professionals dedicated to advancing Tribal health for the 7th generation in the Pacific Northwest.
Position Summary The We R Native (WRN) Youth Engagement Coordinator (WRN Coordinator) is responsible for supporting the outreach and engagement efforts across the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s adolescent health promotion projects (including We R Native and Healthy Native Youth). They will help guide youth‑led initiatives, create and manage social media content, and co‑lead multimedia projects.
The WRN Coordinator must have digital communication skills, project coordination experience, cultural and community awareness, and the ability to work with youth/young adults and support youth‑focused health messaging, multimedia outreach, and cross‑team collaboration with tribal communities and partners.
The WRN Coordinator coordinates and supports the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s Adolescent Health Team, a multidisciplinary group of seven (7) public health professionals, including the Adolescent Health Principal Investigator and Co‑Directors, We R Native Manager, Healthy Native Youth Project Director, Healthy Native Youth Project Outreach Specialist, SMS Communications Specialist, and the ETHIC Media Specialist and Web Manager. Together, this team works to improve the health and well‑being of American Indian and Alaska Native youth and young adults in the Northwest (OR, WA, and ID) by advancing prevention, holistic wellness education, and culturally rooted youth support systems.
The WRN Coordinator reports to the We R Native Manager. This scope of work is housed within the NW Tribal Epidemiology Center Division.
This position is based at NPAIHB’s offices in Portland, Oregon. Local travel and/or overnight travel outside of the area is required approximately 25% of the time.
