Join Our Efforts to Elevate Rural Voices!

The Rural Outreach Project is actively recruiting community facilitators to help elevate rural voices! 
​Facilitators will conduct Story Corps interviews with community members most impacted by health disparities related to geography, race, and income. These interviews will be used to better support and collaborate with rural communities, inform health investment decisions, and ultimately reduce health disparities in our rural communities. 

​No interviewing experience needed.

The Rural Outreach Project is supported by project lead and United Way of Lane County staff member, Dorothy Goodwin, and the Lane Equity Coalition Rural Subcommittee, a group of rural community members, partner organization representatives, and Public Health stakeholders that advise the work of the project.
