Raising Health Manager of Community Building

Raising Health Partners (formerly known as Academy of Medical & Public Health Services (AMPHS)) is a Brooklyn-based, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating barriers to accessing healthcare for immigrants and other under-served communities in NYC. Every year, we proudly serve and connect more than 20,000 New Yorkers to healthcare systems. Our programs equip immigrant populations with the knowledge to help them navigate the complexities of living in a new city and transition into post-secondary education and/or employment opportunities.

At the same time, we also educate community members on their immigrant rights, healthy living, nutrition and health access, and create space for civic engagement.

Under the direction of the Director of Programs, the Manager of Community Building Initiatives will work with partners, stakeholders, and the community to build trust and provide access to help develop Raising Health programming and Sunset Park advocacy efforts. The Manager of Community Building coordinates with departments to provide guidance and resources, leverage best practices, solicit, and incorporate community input into programs and services, and use data to inform process improvement.
