GoodHealth Works - PHA Student Engagement Specialist

Together with its community partners, the Portland Housing Authority (PHA) provides and expands affordable housing and services that improve quality of life, build community, enhance safety, and promote personal success for the people served and the neighborhoods in which they reside. AmeriCorps members at PHA serve in one of the organization's three education centers, where the collective goal is to help students succeed. Afternoons are drop-in time for youth and blend academic support with social emotional engagement and creative expression. The centers are communal spaces for educational assistance for residents of all ages, resource centers for exploring post-secondary opportunities, and hubs for youth leadership development and community service. Members are responsible for supervising and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where students of all ages and developmental levels can thrive both academically and socially. Members work together with staff to plan and facilitate supplemental educational and aspirational programming as well as build and maintain relationships with families, volunteers, service providers, and schools. Mentoring is the backbone of our programming with intentional efforts to support basic needs beyond academic support such as food access, social emotional support, and life skills development - www.porthouse.org.
