Teen Writing Program – ½ time paid position and volunteer positions
We are seeking volunteers to facilitate therapeutic poetry with people who have suffered childhood traumas, such as abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence. The volunteers will work on one of our teams that meets weekly during the school year, inside juvenile detention, the state psychiatric hospital for children, or a residence for adults with lived experience of homelessness and substance use.

We are hoping to fill a half-time, paid position for a Program Manager to help me oversee the projects. This person will have clinical training (such as training in social work or family counseling), have experience with at-risk populations, and also have a strong interest in creative writing, especially poetry. We’re looking for a mature individual who can guide our trauma-informed work with vulnerable populations inside sensitive institutions.
