While the permanent POM is on family leave for 5 months, I am responsible for the successful development, implementation, and evaluation of Safe Passage prevention and outreach programming. I work under the supervision of the Community Engagement Director to lead the team of staff responsible for comprehensive violence prevention programming, community outreach, and maintaining collaborations supporting adult and youth populations. I work with the agency’s leadership team to ensure that all staff implementing outreach and prevention programming are appropriately trained and supported in their activities. I manage most administrative aspects of prevention and outreach programming. I am also responsible for providing support and supervision to staff involved in the Healthy Relationships Grant program. As part of the Community Engagement Department, I provide outreach and training and contribute to agency-wide communication strategies and content.
