UMaine 4-H - Tanglewood - Public Health, Midcoast ME Job at AmeriCorps
Maine’s coastal waters and inland hills provide perfect settings to learn skills in cooperation, ecology, communication, and living lightly on the land. Tucked into a parcel of Camden Hills State Park, Tanglewood is a creative community fostering a supportive and fun environment for all — and drawing youth back year after year! While having fun and experiencing the joys of being a part of the natural world, we emphasize community living, respect for all, and healthy relationships. UMaine 4-H is a positive youth and family development organization. Within 4-H, Tanglewood’s mission is to teach Maine youth and adults to be effective and caring citizens of the earth through affordable environmental education and nature-based experiences. We model leadership and life skills development, community collaboration, self-reliance, wellness, and stewardship for our natural world. The work is done in service of the University of Maine's broader mission of helping Maine people improve their lives through research-based information and education. We carry out this mission through immersive youth development programs utilizing best practices in outdoor education, positive youth development, and mentorship. Public Health AmeriCorps program places members with community organizations in Maine to address CDC determined public health needs for the most underserved populations.

This position requires members to work flexible hours especially during the summer camp season.
