What are the responsibilities and job description for the Program Assistant 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!
