Description
The Auditorium Theatre is hiring Healing Counselors
For the 21st Summer of Hearts to Art
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This unique camp brings together young people between the ages of 7 and 14 who have experienced the death of a parent to discover the healing power of creative play. Through the exploration and creation of theatre, music, dance and visual arts, Hearts to Art encourages communication and collaboration, fosters emotional growth, and provides friendship, compassion, and community. Through interaction with young people who have experienced a similar loss, campers understand they are not alone. We encourage you to check out our website at www.HeartstoArt.org to get a better idea of this program before applying.
Healing Counselors are preferably licensed practitioners (LCSW, LCPC, LSW, LPC) who work directly with the campers to lead small healing groups 8 times over the 4 weeks of camp (4 times per camp session) to help campers navigate their feelings about their loss and have a safe place to express themselves. Healing Counselors are a contracted position, expected to work approximately 40 hours between June-August. The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience working with children, bereavement, grief, and working with high trauma populations. They will have experience leading group sessions, working in play therapy, and creating/customizing their work to a wide range of ages, needs, and personalities. They will have a passion for and belief in the arts, if not experience in the arts. The pay rate is commensurate with licensing.
