AmeriCorps Community Health Worker (in-training)
Public Health AmeriCorps is a national service program designed to train a new generation of public health leaders and create healthier, more resilient communities.
Join our team as an AmeriCorps Community Health Worker (in-training) with Epilepsy Foundation New England (EFNE).
We are currently seeking qualified candidates to serve, learn, and gain practical experience in our unique, 11-month program. This full-time position offers the possibility to partner with one of our host-site hospitals throughout New England. Each host site may have expectations of weekly in-person service, as well as language requirements.
As an AmeriCorps Member in our Epilepsy Resource Room Corps, you’ll gain valuable experience working with a talented team at EFNE, as well as our host-site partners.
While supporting our Programs and Services team, you’ll be given opportunities to make a real impact in the lives of those living with epilepsy. Some examples to engage with the community include providing referrals to a wide variety of community-based programs and resources, and offering support to increase the quality of life for patients and families living with epilepsy.
We offer a hybrid work environment and flexible scheduling, along with a living allowance, paid in installments every other week, and an education award for those successfully concluding the program.
