MOXIE Public Schools is thrilled to be a Goodwill NNE’s GoodHealth Works AmeriCorps program partner. This is a national program that helps strengthen the public health workforce in Maine by placing AmeriCorps members in health centers, substance use recovery programs, public schools, and other community-based organizations to address urgent community health needs.

As a MOXIE AmeriCorps member, you’ll join a dynamic, equity-driven team creating a new kind of public school—one that combines rigorous, competency-based foundational instruction with real-world interdisciplinary projects and long-term advising relationships. You’ll work in an environment that honors both collaboration and clarity, with shared curriculum, strong systems, and an uncompromising focus on student growth.

Role Overview:

These efforts directly advance our mission to ensure all students—especially those who are multilingual, highly mobile, or navigating complex life circumstances—develop the skills, support systems, and confidence needed to thrive. The role supports our core objectives of providing personalized support, strengthening advisory systems, and ensuring every student can access the relationships and resources needed for success.
