Public Health AmeriCorps Member

Public Health AmeriCorps members are placed with health agencies

and nonprofits across Maine and New Hampshire to improve access to healthcare

for the most underserved populations. Members will work with these partner

agencies to develop and carry out localized public health interventions that

address issues like access to care, drug abuse and misuse, care for veterans,

health education and mental health initiatives.     

Members will be connecting people to care, organizing

volunteers, running health clinics, doing

educational outreach and much more! Through their extensive service

and training, members will gain the experience needed to pursue a career in

public health.
