Building Healthy Communities (BHC) is a 10 year strategic initiative funded by The California Endowment aimed at improving the health status of children and youth in fourteen communities in California and to provide a blueprint for creating healthy communities through policy and systems change that is driven by intentional resident engagement and systems partnerships.

The Hub Communications Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that the goals and actions of the BHC collaborative are communicated internally and externally so as to elevate the vision and purpose of Building Healthy Communities to residents and partners, as well as local and regional stakeholders and media. The Communications Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing the development of and implementing a communications plan which will integrate the work of the BHC collaborative into key messages that facilitate the creation of a shared vision
of health and communicate these messages to the broader community through media, the general public, and government.

This will include: crafting and communicating messages through press releases and statements, articles, and electronic and print communications; training local participants to ensure that they can communicate the messages of BHC and the BHC Collaborative; serving as liaison with local and other media to increase exposure of the BHC Collaborative and its work; attending BHC Collaborative meetings to identify activities and actions to communicate internally and externally; and documenting press and other media coverage of the BHC Collaborative and sharing it with the staff and Steering Committee.

The communications coordinator role is to identify all critical audiences, both internal and
