Job Description:

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.

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/.
