Come work with us! Alabama Arise is hiring a Maternal Health Fellow to help strengthen and grow our movement for a better Alabama.

Arise works hard to break down policy barriers to opportunity for people living in or near poverty. We recognize the role that structural racism plays in creating and sustaining these barriers, and we have an organizational commitment to promote racial equity in all that we do. Using policy analysis, advocacy and organizing, Arise provides a structure in which Alabamians can engage in public debates to promote the common good.

The maternal health fellow will help advance our work to protect health coverage during the Medicaid unwinding period. Unwinding is the process of returning to traditional Medicaid eligibility requirements after the end of a continuous coverage eligibility period during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fellow will provide Medicaid unwinding education, support and training for new and expectant mothers and women of childbearing age. The fellow also will work to develop partnerships with various stakeholders and support Arise members’ goals on maternal and infant health. This position will be funded for nine months, from January-September 2024.
