MEDFORD, MA — Medford is looking to hire five contractors to serve as part-time liaisons between the city and under-represented community groups. The city is particularly interested in residents with strong ties to the Haitian, Brazilian, Arabic and Latin populations in Medford.

These liaisons will play a critical role in the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness project to understand community needs and develop a resilient community center in Medford.

Liaisons will help the city become more "effective and culturally competent" in its communications. They will report to the Medford Board of Health Office of Prevention and Outreach.

In September, Medford and its partner agencies issued a report on the creation of Resilience Hubs and identified action steps for creating climate resiliency and preparedness locally.
