As we develop our programming for our wig recipients & families throughout 2023, art therapy is always one of our most well-received activities. We’re seeking an art therapist to help facilitate a variety of art classes, including sand art, rock painting, beading, painting with acrylics & watercolors, sketching and so much more. If you or someone you know would be a good fit for this role, please email your resume to maggie@wigs4kids.org or share this post to help us get the word out about the opportunity. Art helps our kids express their feelings in a positive way & heal from emotional, social & psychological side effects of their health challenges. We look forward to working together to make a difference!
