HaGomel Seeks Experienced Bilingual (English/Spanish) Part-Time Expressive Arts Workshop Facilitators (Los Angeles & Ventura County)

Our facilitators will lead a 4-session series of workshops (every other week) with our community partners. We are currently working with partners in the Pico-Westlake area and downtown area of Los Angeles and are expanding to offer similar programming in Ventura County. If these initial series are successful, we plan to continue the programs with additional workshops and recommend these facilitators to lead workshops at other locations across Los Angeles County and Ventura County.
