Advocacy Manager

Missouri Family Health Council champions the freedom to access sexual and reproductive healthcare—no matter who you are or where you live. Through programs like Title X, Free EC, and The Right Time, we partner with providers, support communities, and advocate for policies that protect care and expand rights. We ensure that everyone can get the care they need, without shame, judgment, or obstacles. Simply put, we do hard work and we do it well.

A member of the Programs team, the Advocacy Manager is responsible for building community power to address systemic barriers that impact peoples’ ability to receive and offer sexual and reproductive healthcare. They work to organize and mobilize MFHC’s health centers, volunteers, patients, and partners to engage and advocate for MFHC’s policy priorities. They spend a lot of time in the field, building relationships, and moving people to action. The Advocacy Manager works in close collaboration with other members of the MFHC team and other health- and equity-focused coalition members and community partners in order to defend against legislative attacks to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice, and pave the way toward implementation of proactive policies that move us closer to the vision that everyone has access to healthcare without shame, judgement, or obstacles.

Building and activating community power is the core of this role. We believe that power is built not just by influencing legislation at a grasstops level, but engaging communities in civic engagement that will last long after any specific piece of legislation is passed or defeated. If you are a flexible and adaptable individual that excels at organizing, power-building, and moving stakeholders to action in a challenging environment, we want to hear from you.
