Land acknowledgement
Together, we acknowledge, with humility, the indigenous peoples whose presence permeates the waterways, shorelines, valleys, and mountains of the Olympic region. The land where we are is the territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the Chimacum, Hoh, Makah, S’Klallam, Suquamish, and Quileute tribes on whose sacred land we live, work, and play.

Prime Age Employment Group (PAEG) Focus Groups
Olympic Community of Health seeks to contract with one qualified entity to conduct and analyze focus groups to gather data, insights, and evaluation findings regarding effective communication strategies for Olympic Connect, a Community Care Hub of Washington. This initiative aims to specifically improve engagement with the Prime Age Employment Group (PAEG)*, by refining outreach and messaging approaches to reduce stigma around seeking help in efforts to reach this population, and support them with addressing their health-related social barriers.
​
Olympic Community of Health is accepting proposals from entities from both within and external to the Olympic region of Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap counties in Washington state. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that align with their skills, strengths, and capacity in qualitative evaluation, focus group facilitation, and rural or suburban communication dynamics.
​
*The Prime Age Employment Group or PAEG is a term used to define those in the 25-54-year-old age group that are un- or underemployed. This population is a key audience for Olympic Connect.
