Organizational Summary

The Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center is a patient- and family-centered nonprofit organization that provides a comprehensive and integrated wellness approach to multiple sclerosis (MS) and related diseases, life-changing support services, top-notch education programming, and cutting-edge research.

Conectar is a broader organizational initiative to expand culturally responsive care, strengthen community partnerships, and improve access to support for Latino and Hispanic individuals and families affected by MS. Central to Conectar is a free, bilingual (English/Spanish) six-month pilot program running July–December 2026. It was developed in direct response to community need — listening sessions with Latino individuals and families impacted by MS surfaced key barriers: language access, isolation, a lack of culturally relevant resources, emotional health challenges, difficulty navigating healthcare systems, and a desire for stronger family and community connection.

These conversations also led to the creation of a community leadership council, which helped guide the pilot's development and ensure it remained grounded in lived experience and community priorities.

As the program has evolved, collaborations have been established and strengthened with organizations including Well Power, Denver Health, and community providers to strengthen mental health support, education, and referral pathways for participants. The program also integrates bilingual educational materials, interpretation access, and community-centered facilitation practices to help create a welcoming and inclusive experience.

Participants in Conectar will have access to:

• Monthly virtual/asynchronous bilingual educational videos about MS and wellness
• Monthly In-person community support circles in partnership with Well Power
• Up to 3 individual counseling sessions with a bilingual provider for participants who opt in
• Resource navigation support (food, housing, transportation, mental health services, etc.)

The Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center (RMMSC) is seeking an energetic individual to lead outreach and resource navigation efforts for our Conectar Program to advance culturally competent care for Hispanic and Latino individuals and families living with multiple sclerosis. The Community Engagement Coordinator is responsible for connecting with individuals and organizations dedicated to serving Hispanic and Latino community members, to convene and organize community leadership council meetings, coordinate pilot program services, conduct recruitment and outreach efforts, implement resource navigation services, and review translated materials for the program.

The Community Engagement Coordinator will also collaborate with the team to organize advocacy efforts to advance culturally competent care practices in Colorado including outreach to community organizations, decision makers, and individuals and families living with MS.

This is a limited-service position. The funding for this position is provided by a limited term grant to support this program and is dependent on that funding being maintained. Full-time employment is anticipated through December 2027.
