Application Deadline:
05/30/2023
Agency:
Parks and Recreation Department
Salary Range:
$5,875 - $8,663
Position Type:
Employee
Position Title:
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Coordinator
:
Please note, this announcement will be open until filled. First screening of applications/Resumes/Cover letters will take place May 30th.
Diversity, equity and inclusion is perhaps the most important work in front of us right now. Oregon’s population is growing, and its demographics are changing. Quantitative and qualitative research shows that minority racial and ethnic groups — Indigenous American, Asian, Black, and Latinx — are underrepresented in outdoor recreation in Oregon and across the country. We know that barriers also exist for people with limited incomes, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people. We’re looking for someone who knows why this research matters, and who instinctively understands that a workforce composed of people from all backgrounds and perspectives will lead to better decisions, better creative thinking, and better leadership. DEI goes well beyond recruiting, though. It means knowing that visitors from all backgrounds should be able to connect with their state parks quickly and meaningfully. The ideal DEI Coordinator will have a passion for the principles of inclusivity, and will help generate creative ideas to make our parks and campgrounds better: easier to access, with fewer barriers and more welcoming. We’re looking for someone who sees past the difficulties of getting there and focuses on the wonderful possibilities that opening these gates may bring.
If this sounds like you, come join our team as a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Coordinator and support one of Oregon’s greatest resources – State Parks!
This position falls under the classification Operations and Policy Analyst 3.
