We Need Your Help!
The Eastern Alameda Power and Action Committee is integral to the development of a needs assessment that is representative of the community. Members will be involved in the qualitative data collection process from the beginning. The EAPAC will serve multiple purposes, including creating strong local connections when recruiting for qualitative data collection (focus groups and interviews) and supporting the development of interview guides. The group will also support the interpretation/analysis of data, using a special local context. This will ensure all communities are represented in the data and that interview questions are developed in a culturally competent manner.
This is a compensated position and is open to all Tri-Valley community members. We are looking for individuals who have lived experience accessing and/or providing health and human services, individuals from groups that do not feel that their voice is heard in the community, and/or community volunteers/residents that have a deep understanding of the needs of the Tri-Valley. Each member will have the opportunity to be involved in any element of the process, if interested. No prior experience is needed - all training will be provided.
If you would like to the EAPAC, please fill out the Interest Form.
