GoodHealth Works Youth Engagement Spec.

Located in Maine's largest and most diverse school district, Portland Public Schools serves approximately 6,500 students in pre‑K through grade 12, with about one‑third from homes where a language other than English is spoken, representing more than 50 languages. Portland is a vibrant coastal city, offering historic charm, artistic flair, a thriving culinary scene, and abundant outdoor recreation. Personal transportation is encouraged due to the nature of the project and Maine's rural geography.

The Ameri Corps member will support multilingual students at Portland Public Schools through academic coaching, social‑emotional learning, and leadership development. By fostering confidence, engagement, and access to educational opportunities, the member helps reduce stress and promote mental well‑being, while supporting long‑term health equity and positive life outcomes. Through individualized guidance, promotion of advanced coursework, and encouragement of civic and community participation, the member addresses key social determinants of health, empowering students to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
