  • An interview rubric
  • Recommendations on qualified candidates that the organization should contact and recruitment platforms to use

Additional details

We are in need of a cadre of teaching artists and counselors/social workers with experience working with youth to work as a team of two (artist & counselor) facilitating a healing arts program with groups of young people ages 8 to 19.

What we have in place
  • We currently have program and role descriptions, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have current staff serving in these roles, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,765 , allowing us to put more energy and time into the training of staff to prepare them for the work.

Good Journey is entering into a contract to provide the healing arts program to a greater number of youth in different spaces and needs more staff with the proper qualifications and experience to join the team.
