This position joins Oregon Health Authority’s statewide AmeriCorps VISTA team at New Each Morning.

New Each Morning is a nonprofit organization in Bend, Oregon that supports low-income women transitioning from alcohol and drug treatment programs back into the community. Many women leaving treatment face barriers including unsafe-unstable housing, unemployment, lack of transportation, mental health challenges, and limited recovery support. New Each Morning helps bridge this gap by providing peer recovery support, workforce readiness assistance, transportation support, community connections, and safe transitional sober housing through The Juniper House.

The organization serves women working to rebuild healthy, stable, and self-sufficient lives after addiction. Services focus on helping women maintain long-term recovery, obtain employment, strengthen life skills, secure stable housing, and reconnect with healthy community support systems. By addressing barriers that contribute to relapse, homelessness, unemployment, and continued poverty, New Each Morning helps women and families move out of the stigmatism of addiction and toward long-term stability and economic independence.

Bend, Oregon is known for its beautiful mountain views, outdoor recreation, rivers, hiking trails, and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy access to year-round outdoor activities, local events, and a growing network of organizations working together to support community wellness and recovery.

In addition to activities at your individual host site, OHA provides members with project orientation, training and professional development, 5 in-person team meetings per year, and support from VISTA team leaders and project director.
