WORKING AT CCC
CCC is a small but growing mission-driven organization with 10 full time positions. We operate in a highly collaborative environment and growing synergy between our various programs and staff positions. As a cross-cultural organization, we have opportunities to learn from each other, our members, and partners to build a collective analysis around racial justice and strategize together to achieve this vision. We recognize that while all BIPOC communities experience the oppression of white supremacy that some communities face additional harm, such as anti-Blackness or land theft and colonization, and we are at the early phase in our efforts to address these both structurally and within our own coalition practices.
Our staff’s work frequently covers a wide range of issues as well as work activities, giving extensive learning opportunities. While our work is often responsive to the current climate and greatest opportunities, staff have a high degree of autonomy in developing program goals and workplans in collaboration with their teams and organizational leadership.
We are actively working on organizational development, strong support for staff and investment in their growth, and addressing equity issues within our organization, including anti-Blackness and other intersecting oppressions impacting BIPOC individuals and communities. Our physical office is located in Old Town/Chinatown in Portland, with strong access to transit.
