Job Description

Good Will Hinckley is looking for a dedicated, dynamic, detail- oriented individual to fill the position of Executive Assistant & Advancement Coordinator. For over 130 years, the Good Will Idea to provide a home and helping hand to boys and girls in need has stood tall and proud on the beautiful sprawling campus of Good Will-Hinckley in Fairfield, Maine.

In 1889, the Good Will-Hinckley Homes for Boys and Girls was born. GWH has uplifted thousands of Maine children and young adults by providing resources and a family for life. George Walter would be proud of what our organization has become.

We're a community that's given thousands of young people the tools they need not just to survive but thrive.
