AmeriCorps Community Health Worker (in-training) - Boston, MA & Worcester, MA
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 starting on March 31, 2025. This full-time position offers the possibility to partner with one of our host-site hospitals in either Boston, MA or Worcester, MA. In the event that you are selected for a position based in one of our hospital host sites, you will be required to adhere to all host site policies which typically include that you will have received the most current COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations prior to serving. To serve in our program, applicants must live in one of the five states in which we operate and, ideally, in the state in which they will be serving.
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, offering support to increase the quality of life for patients and families living with epilepsy, and supporting/implementing in-person outreach and events. In light of the nature of the communities we serve, candidates fluent in Spanish will be preferred.
We provide an annual living allowance of $22,500, paid in installments every other week, an education award for those successfully concluding the program, and other benefits. Each host-site hospital may have its own expectations of in-person frequency and all candidates are expected to serve in the hospital in accordance with those expectations.
