PORTSMOUTH—GoodWork is pleased to announce its newest team member, Community Rentals Coordinator Kristin Jeffrey.  

The organization’s first hire beyond the leadership team of CEO Molly Hodgson and COO Maria Sillari, Kristin will be responsible for coordinating and facilitating meeting and event rentals at Carey Cottage and serve as the primary staff resource to renters, vendors and guests. 

“We are thrilled to have Kristin join the GoodWork team. She brings a depth and breadth of experience and has strong roots in the Seacoast community.  She will serve an integral role in our organization’s growth,” said Molly. 

Kristin has been committed to equity and social justice work for the last twenty years. She has a range of experience, largely grounded in education and nonprofit organizations. She started her career in a high school classroom in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas and went on to work for Teach for America, a national nonprofit organization, for over a decade with experiences in program, operations, and human assets.  

Kristin served as the board chair of the Seacoast Community School, is a member of the Seacoast Giving Circle and a member of the 2016 Leadership Seacoast class. Most recently, Kristin chaired the Portsmouth School Board, stewarding the board and community’s engagement during the pandemic.  

Kristin is looking forward to this new opportunity at GoodWork to contribute to her community. “I am so excited to join the growing GoodWork team and help support their mission. Carey Cottage is a truly special place; I am eager to partner with community members, non-profits and businesses so they can enjoy this space with their organizations.”
