What are the responsibilities and job description for the Agrotourism Travel Agent position at CARE Wellness Center & Services?
The C.A.R.E. Wellness Center is a 501(c)3-approved nonprofit organization founded in 2020 and based in Washington state. Christlike Agro-Tourism for Racial Equality (or C.A.R.E.) is tasked with developing safe, holistic spaces for people of color and allies of equality to retreat and combat effects of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS). Our program focuses on self-mastery, and the holistic balancing of, what we call, The Holy Trinity mind, body, and spirit.
C.A.R.E. is non-religious and non-denominational, while maintaining its roots in the lifetime journey to understanding, and acceptance with faith in unconditional love. Our techniques are universal, including principles found in Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and A Course In Miracles. Our mission is to foster inclusion of all people in a collaborated effort in the pursuit of self-actualization.
We have designed our first pilot program, the C.A.R.E. Summer Re-Entry Program (SREP), a research program to serve young BIPOC adults after incarceration at no/low cost to support their rehabilitation from multigenerational trauma and reintegrate into their communities, avoiding recidivism. Help us raise the funding necessary to launch this unique and innovative wellness program!
We are still in our development stages and in search of professionals/students who can strengthen our foundation and form our governing bodies. We look forward to partnering with professionals/students and community organizations soon in support of our community!

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION C.A.R.E. Wellness Center & Services
C.A.R.E. Wellness Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity with a mission of providing a safe farm stay, holistic retreat, and wellness programs for BIPOC community and allies for equality. Its programs are focused on persons of color and work with vulnerable populations such as BIPOC with justice-involvement, foster youth, and those suffering mental health challenges. The person in this role must be sensitive to these populations and center their duties on wellness.
Our Mission is to provide a safe farm stay, holistic retreat, and wellness programs for black, indigenous, people of color and allies, to recover from Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome via Spirituality, AgroTourism, and Racial Justice.
Our Vision is Connectivity to Nature; to God; and to Self. Our goal of acquiring farmland is to establish a safe spiritual retreat for people of color to escape constant trauma and begin repairing their fractured foundation and realize self-actualization. Our programs are a research community project with a goal of empowering others to heal from PTSS.
The Founder, Chair, and CEO is a woman of color, Pansexual, and person with disabilities fully committed to the growth of both C.A.R.E. Wellness Center (nonprofit) and C.A.R.E.

This is a home-based office welcoming volunteers, guests, and visitors for meetings while fundraising for farmland to headquarter wellness programs.
Job Summary
We are developing wellness programs and fundraising for Washington farmland to use agrotourism as a tool of healing. Agrotourism is the combination of agriculture and hospitality and practiced internationally. As we develop our wellness center in Washington state, our access to international travel and agrotourism is important to the development of our partnerships with organic farms internationally and our winter programs where we chaperone cohorts to organic farms abroad. This is an opportunity for a self-motivated individual with sales-experience to manage travel bookings under our host agency, and to share commissions with our nonprofit. This volunteer work supports a good cause and encourages self-employment for those who are eligible.
