Who We Are

This statewide program conducts federally required case reviews of children in foster care. With a staff of approximately 21 (including the program manager, operations staff, and field managers/coordinators) and 55 volunteer boards comprising 240 volunteers, the CRB partners with local juvenile courts across Oregon to ensure compliance with these required reviews and to recommend system improvements. The CRB has a dual legislative mandate to conduct individual case reviews and engage in systemic advocacy.

Position Highlights
We are hiring a Citizen Review Board Field Manager (Citizen Review Board Coordinator) to oversee review boards in Oregon’s Klamath and Lake Counties. There will be monthly in-person meetings in Klamath County and quarterly in-person meetings in Lake County.
In this role, you will coordinate and facilitate case reviews with the courts and the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to ensure that mandated reviews are conducted on each case involving a child in foster care, at least once every six months, as required by federal law. You will recruit, train, advise, and supervise volunteer board members and will supervise and provide professional support to local and regional review boards. You will draft and finalize written board findings and recommendations, which will be provided to legal parties and entered into the legal record. You will analyze systems, statistical data, and other information to recommend changes to policies, procedures, and laws regarding the foster care system. You will also participate in the development and implementation of program goals, policies, and operating procedures.
Additionally, you will lead at the local level to promote community involvement in permanent planning for children and the participation of families, resource parents, children, and other interested parties in the review process. Field Managers negotiate and mediate among agencies and diverse, often adversarial, parties. In doing your work, you will promote and maintain working relationships with tribes, judges, courts, attorneys, community leaders, ODHS staff, and other agencies serving children.
You will spend part of your time representing OJD in local model court meetings and representing the CRB by serving on or appearing before boards, committees, commissions, and state advisory councils, with the goal of improving the foster care system.
