In my role as a Community Mobilizer within Spa 4 (METRO Los Angeles), I effectively collaborated with a broad network of formal and informal community leaders, influencers, and community-based organizations. My primary objective was to empower these key community figures to drive response activities, aiming for widespread adoption of preferred behaviors.With responsibility for a team of 75 staff, including over 12 resource hubs, I facilitated the connection of vulnerable communities to a diverse range of resources. My leadership extended to the comprehensive engagement of local churches, businesses, neighborhood associations, and other civic organizations. By encouraging their active participation, we fostered a strong sense of community ownership of response activities.I closely coordinated with our Programs team to pinpoint suitable sites, and I took the lead in developing outreach strategies. These strategies spanned from day-of canvassing to targeted outreach to local institutions. Moreover, I was instrumental in mapping out informal leadership and support groups within the community to ensure complete engagement.My tenure in this role saw an impressive 200% increase in partnerships, achieved through a conscious effort to diversify the organizations we engaged with, thereby advancing our commitment to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives.In order to address the gaps present in our public health system, I actively collaborated with County and City offices.
