Description California Long-Term Care Education Center’s (CLTCEC) mission is to provide educational opportunities to long-term care workers so they can build better lives and provide high quality care to the consumers they serve. CLTCEC serves home care workers providing non-medical, person-centered caregiving services to seniors and people with disabilities through the Medi-Cal funded In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. We also provide training to nursing home workers, including Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). As the largest provider of training to long-term care workers in California, over the last six years CLTCEC has trained over 10,000 long-term care workers and the seniors and persons with disabilities they serve. The majority of this training was funded through a three-year, $11.8 million Health Care Innovation Award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center for a pilot project called Care Team Integration of the Home-Based Workforce. Position: Naming and Branding Consultant. Over the past several years our organization has steadily grown and in August 2018 established our first communications department, staffed at 1.2 FTE. We are in the process of developing strategic communications plans for each department. The primary challenge we are seeking assistance with is naming and branding. Our name is long and the acronym is difficult to pronounce. We need to change our name to something that better meets our needs. Also the names of our trainings were created for an audience of funders, so the students who attend our trainings don’t remember the name of the class. Our target markets for communication are narrow, and in the case of the home care and nursing home workers we serve, multi-cultural and multi-lingual, with widely varying levels of education and socio-economic experience. Our organization and program names need to translate into six languages – Spanish, Armenian, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean. Note we have our class instructors, graduates, and other staff that speak all six languages available to participate in the project. Responsibilities: Assess our branding needs Lead develop of a process for picking a new name for our organization and a family of brand names for our programs Lead focus groups and or brainstorming sessions with staff, students Board members to ideate possible new names Qualifications: High level branding experience Experience in naming organizations, products, and or programs Understanding of multicultural audiences Time Commitment: 3-5 hours per week for two months during regular business hours. Flexible with your schedule.

We provide training to the state-funded home care providers who play a critical role in the lives of thousands of aging and disabled Californians who are some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Imagine having a job where you’re paid minimum wage yet hold people’s lives in your hands. Imagine dealing with body fluids, poo, bed sores, and getting an adult in and out of the bathtub—all before breakfast.

I’ll be your primary contact. I have experience with conceptualizing video and with light video editing and can work with you to draft a script and interview participants. Responsibilities: Guiding creation of the story-board and script with our Communications Manager · Assisting with evaluating and refining our list candidates to star in the videos · Shoot the videos on-site at locations in L.A.

Only about 10% of Los Angeles and California schools fully implement the programs and practices of social-emotional learning despite their proven positive effects on academic success as well as mitigating the negative realities of school violence, disengagement, drug usage, digital addiction and suicides. The Earthways project named The California Social Emotional Learning Alliance has a dominantly LA-based membership composed of 200 educators, program providers and members of community organizations who have come together to take grassroots actions to overcome public ignorance of and bureaucratic resistance to implementing these remarkable learnings in all state schools. Earthways companion project, the Big EQ Campaign, is a media--focused advocacy campaign (advertising and public relations) meant to overcome parent and public ignorance of these game-changing programs and practices and drive support for them. Mayor Garcetti is among the campaign's endorsers. Senior leadership of both organizations is provided by Jay Levin, founder of the LA Weekly. Responsibilities: The volunteer will be coordinating a variety of member action teams already in place or being built and well as helping to expand on our current 85 organization members, As with any operational and general management, you would stay aprised of and lead/coordinate the leaders of the instituional efforts listed in the Overview above, helping with recruitment if needed, and also integrate those responsible for information flow.
