Coordinator*

*Organizational information:*

*Mission and Strategies*

UCLArts and Healing facilitates the use of the arts as a tool for mind-body
healing in the community as a vehicle for empowerment and transformation
via: 1) offering affordable experiential learning opportunities to health
professionals, educators, community workers, caregivers, artists, and the
general public, 2) designing and evaluating programs that can be implemented
broadly in health care, educational, and recreational settings, and 3)
creating partnerships with academic institutions, educational and health
care institutions, community-based organizations, schools, professional
organizations, and private industry.

*Organizational Structure*

UCLArts and Healing <http://uclartsandhealing.net/

> is a collaboration
between the Arts and Healing
Initiative<http://www.artsandhealinginitiative.org/>,
a nonprofit organization, and the UCLA Collaborative Centers for Integrative
Medicine <http://www.ccim.med.ucla.edu/> (CCIM), which promotes education
and research in complementary, alternative, and integrative approaches to
health and well-being. The CCIM represents the UCLA academic integrative
medicine community on a national and international level.

*Purpose*

· Arts-based programs offer accessible, nonverbal and universal
tools for improving health by reducing stress and increasing social support
- without the stigma of therapy.

· Arts-based programs are easy to implement in places such as health
care settings and schools, which can create a public health safety net and
enhance the environment of medicine.

· The place of the arts in our culture can be secured by validating
their health benefits and exposing youth to their transformative value
through insights gained from process-oriented activities.

· Visibility and access to quality resources in arts and healing
benefits organizational and individual service providers as well as the
general public. *UCLArts and Healing has been featured as a resource in a
newsletter for the California Coalition for Compassionate Care.*

*Job Qualifications and Description:*

Exceptionally strong computer skills and excellent writing/editing skills
are paramount. Efficiency, reliability, attention to detail (e.g., one who
habitually double checks written work or data entries), and ability to
organize information are also important. The position requires a
self-directed individual who not only takes direction well but also takes
initiative, who is resourceful in finding answers to problems, who requires
minimal supervision, who routinely sets and meets self-imposed deadlines,
and who is both able and willing to go the extra mile in time and effort as
the need arises. This position also requires enthusiasm, patience, and
warmth in public persona, as s/he will represent the spirit of the program.
Experience in grant writing is a plus.

The tasks of the job will evolve, based on the abilities of the employee and
also on the evolution and growth of the organization, which is growing
rapidly and developing a national presence. The truth is that this work
almost defies a prescribed role - it is everything and whatever the job
requires at any given moment. The employee will have the opportunity for
mentorship by the Director and will also have the chance to learn about the
field both in resource finding/posting and by attending/supervising
workshops. Task-wise, the employee will:

· Enter data - survey results, registration information, for
example.

· Post recommended events sponsored by other organizations.

· Update various sections of website.

*Coordinate Public Programs (listed below is a sample of events from

collecting fees, checking people in, setting up sound system, survey
distribution and collection, coping of survey sheets, taking photos, other
assistance as needed.

· Answer public inquiries via email or phone, for example offering
web-based assistance in registering for programs online.

send out electronic notices. Identify potentially interested groups and
contact them for networking.
