Project Manager (ABP)

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Division of Maternal, Child, & Adolescent Health is seeking a Project Manager to join our Abundant Birth Project (ABP) CA Expansion. The CA ABP is a pilot program that will provide pregnant people with a monthly income supplement during their pregnancy and post-natal periods. Led by Expecting Justice, this program recognizes that racism has shut far too many parents out of the resources they need for healthy births. Providing cash during pregnancy is an expedient and humanizing way to support mamas during this critical period of life. If you want to be a part of this pioneering, anti-racist program, please consider joining our team! To learn more about ABP, visit https://www.expectingjustice.org/about-abp/.
