If you enjoy fast-paced, team work, creative freedom, can transition quickly between projects, and remain focused on project goals and objectives, this may be a great opportunity for you to balance community work with wellness, and leadership with servitude. This can transition into a paid position, once grants are received.

  • The Research and Development Officers at our nonprofit wellness center in Washington State plays a pivotal role in advancing the organization's mission to serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) young adults in overcoming post-traumatic slave syndrome. This position involves leading research initiatives, developing innovative programs, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to address the unique challenges faced by the target population.

    We are developing wellness programs to pilot at a local, organic farm in May 2024 and serve young black men ages 18-25 who have recently been legally-liberated. This program will then be offered to other BIPOC cohorts in Fall and Winter months upon more funding. There is a need to research multiple aspects of this project for it to become a research program and meet state requirements. The R&D Officers should have experience in statistics, research, analysis, and reporting to be able to help us create a solid program that will be submitted to University of Washington eventually to become evidence-based, and hopefully reproduced nationally. A background in mental health/healthcare, education, history, and/or social services is preferred.

I came on board wanting to use my design skills to give back to the community, and what I found was a team with an incredible heart. Working here made me a better designer. I highly recommend volunteering at C.A.R.E. Wellness Center to anyone looking to make a positive impact and grow as a designer."

We encourage an overall interdependent manifestation of wholeness and mindfulness to our world. We are all here for each other in this beautiful mess called life. We believe in healing childhood and generational trauma through our shared differences and similarities. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Time Bank

A Time Bank is a community-based system that empowers individuals to exchange services using time as a currency. Instead of traditional money, members of a Time Bank trade services based on the time spent providing a service. 

Here’s how it works: 

  1. Earning Time Credits: When you provide a service to another member of the Time Bank, you earn time credits. The value of the service is based solely on the time spent, not on the type of service. For example, an hour of gardening earns the same time credit as an hour of home repair. 

  2. Spending Time Credits: You can then use these time credits to ‘purchase’ services from other members. Again, the cost of a service is based on the time it takes, not on the type of service. 

  3. Equality: This system promotes equality, as everyone’s time is valued equally. It also fosters community spirit and mutual aid. 

In terms of bartering, the Time Bank is a structured and fair system that manages the exchange of services. It ensures that all services are valued based on time, promoting fairness and equality. It also provides a clear record of transactions, making the bartering process transparent and easy to manage. Check out our Events page to easily review project offerings from the Time Bank.
