Evaluation Coordinator - #254493

The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to the advancement of the health and well-being of all New Yorkers. To this end, in partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), FPHNYC incubates innovative public health initiatives implemented by DOHMH to advance community health throughout the city. It facilitates partnerships, often new and unconventional, between government and the private sector to develop, test, and launch new initiatives. These collaborations speed the execution of demonstration projects, effect expansion of successful pilot programs, and support rapid implementation to meet the public health needs of individuals, families, and communities across New York City.

Program Overview

Since its creation as the Board of Health in 1805, DOHMH has set the national standard for public health. DOHMH has been a leader in utilizing community-level survey and epidemiologic data, cutting-edge information technology, and evidence-based and evidence-informed practices to prioritize and address the health issues of ultimate importance to NYC’s 8.4 million residents. DOHMH balances its role of protecting and promoting the health of all New Yorkers with the rights of those individuals to determine their own health-related behaviors. It achieves this balance by investing in public health interventions that work with communities to change the environmental context, making healthy options the default choice, regardless of education, income, and socioeconomic status. Within DOHMH, the Division of Family and Child Health (FCH) works to improve the health of children, women, and families in New York City, with an emphasis on reducing health disparities and advancing equity. The Division’s diverse and expansive portfolio of work ranges from providing home visits to new parents, to caring for acute and chronic conditions in school children, to engaging communities around promoting sexual and reproductive justice. Four bureaus comprise the Division: Bureau of Maternal, Infant, and Reproductive Health (BMIRH); Bureau of Early Intervention; Office of School Health; and Bureau of Administration.

New York City Teens Connection(NYCTC) is an adolescent sexual health program of BMIRH and an expansion of Bronx Teens Connection, scaling up this successful community-based model to reach more youth throughout NYC. By engaging youth, parenting adults, community-based organizations, schools, clinics, and citywide agencies in a comprehensive effort to improve adolescent sexual health, NYCTC will help youth in NYC learn about their sexual and reproductive health, access the information and resources they need to make healthy decisions, and feel empowered to act on these decisions. We encourage qualified applicants with demonstrated commitment to social justice, particularly racial, gender, and LGBTQ+ equity to apply.
