Harmony Academy, Oregon's first school for adolescents in recovery from substance use disorders, seeks a skilled and passionate teacher to join our amazing staff. Harmony’s innovative program is youth-centered, and our team is collaborative, mission-focused, and supportive.

Our mission is to provide a safe, sober, and supportive education for these youth in their early recovery, where they can develop the skills and strengths needed for personal, academic, vocational and community success. It's an exciting journey.
