Public Health AmeriCorps is a 1 year National Service Opportunity in the State of New Hampshire.

GoodwillNNE operates multiple programs for individuals with disabilities. All of these programs strive to create innovative opportunities for clients and residents to be as integrated into the community as they desire. GoodwillNNE will be looking to expand these opportunities not only for our own clients and residents with disabilities but also in partnership with other organizations across the state (particularly focused on underserved counties). GoodwillNNE believes in the power of work and supporting individuals with disabilities to play a meaningful role in their communities. Project Work/Life Success will place 4 AmeriCorps members to serve GoodwillNNE clients/residents and 6 members to serve clients/residents of other organizations. GoodwillNNE will provide robust training to all members in a job/community integration curriculum and support in implementing it while support staff for residents/clients will support members efforts to understand local realities including resident/clients’ needs.

Magic Lantern 4-H Innovation Center, Bridgton ME

AmeriCorps Members will work to combat to combat toxic stress experienced by youth ages 9 – 20 in the greater Bridgton region and prevent substance abuse and mental health disorders by creating educational outreach programs based at the Magic Lantern. In addition to this, members will also strengthen community resilience by developing programs to address the isolation issues being faced by both young people and elderly residents in the community

The Magic Lantern 4-H Innovation Center is a creative hub of activity with a focus on youth aspirational programs in literacy and the arts, math, design, and engineering, as well as local food systems. These program areas lend themselves well to cross-discipline learning, creative thinking, and problem-solving. The goal is to preserve the theater while utilizing the non-profit revenue-generating operations to fund local youth education. The project runs through a local collaboration between the Maine 4-H Foundation and the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in partnership with a local community board.
