Founded in 1996, Smith Center develops and promotes healing practices that explore physical, emotional, and mental wellness and lead to life-affirming changes for those affected by cancer. Smith Center’s work is based on a single profound idea: that everyone harbors the innate ability to heal, even in the face of life’s most serious challenges. We provide resources to those impacted by cancer and other illnesses, their caregivers, health care providers, and the community.

Programs:

Our goal is to support the people we work with in taking their next step in healing, whatever that may be. We encourage healing by expanding access to integrative and complementary medicine practices for individuals living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis. To meet the whole-person needs of those living with cancer, Smith Center specializes in offering psychosocial support, which treats the social, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and functional aspects of cancer, from prevention through survivorship to end-of-life and bereavement.

Located in Washington, DC, Smith Center provides comprehensive cancer support resources through two primary service areas:

Health and Wellness: Smith Center offers integrative healing programs each year for approximately 650 adults living with cancer and their caregivers, with over 2,600 visits annually. Programs offered include healthy cooking and stress reduction classes, creativity workshops, professionally facilitated support groups, healing circles, and patient navigation services.
Arts and Creativity: Based on our deep belief in the healing power of art, in 2008, Smith Center established the Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery, a public Gallery dedicated to advancing an understanding of the power of arts to unite, teach, build community, and heal. Each year, the Gallery offers four curated exhibitions, featuring the work of approximately 50-100 artists, as well as film screenings, artist dialogues, book-signings, performances, lectures, and other events to up to 3,500 visitors. The Gallery features artists whose work builds community, celebrates life, and inspires change. By encouraging deep introspection, our exhibits work to heal both social, and psychological ills.

Why Work For Us?:

Smith Center for Healing and the Arts is a small, warm, personable, family environment. The culture is collaborative and creative while still being relatively fast-paced. Our values are living-breathing values and permeate the culture, strategy, and policies. We all try very hard to "walk our talk" and practice what we teach to our community. Working alongside diseases such as cancer can make the journey emotionally challenging at times, but also can be some of the most rewarding work one can do. We look for employees who connect with our mission and want to serve our community whole-heartedly.

Montana Legal Services Association

Overview

Headquarters:

Helena, Montana, USA

Website:

Annual Budget :

$1-5M

Size:

11-50 employees

Founded:

1966

About Us

Areas of Focus:

Legal Services / Justice System

Civil Rights / Social Justice

Mission:

For over fifty years, the Montana Legal Services Association has helped ensure fairness for all in Montana’s justice system by providing civil, non-criminal legal services to low income Montanans living in all 56 Montana counties and on all Tribal Reservations.

Programs:

As a private, non-profit law firm, MLSA provides non-criminal legal information, advice, and representation to thousands of Montanans each year. MLSA’s services help fight scams on seniors, assist veterans who have been denied their earned benefits, help people escape abusive relationships, and represent families living in unsafe housing conditions.

“Equal Justice for All” is our shared ideal. Every year, millions walk under these words, engraved into the United States Supreme Court building. Every day, millions of schoolchildren pledge their allegiance to a republic “with liberty and justice for all.” And on countless TV shows, you hear the words, “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”

Unfortunately, there is no right to an attorney for people facing non-criminal legal problems. For many people, especially those with limited incomes, the high cost of legal assistance can prevent them from obtaining even the most basic access to our court systems.

That’s why MLSA works to provide civil legal aid to low income individuals living throughout Montana – to ensure that equal justice for all is a reality for all Montanans, and not just for those who can afford it.

Awards & Accolades:

MLSA's Medical-Legal Partnership program received a certificate of recognition for their collaborative effort to improve community health at the Montana Healthy Communities Conference.

MLSA received the Mary Byron Celebrating Solutions Award in recognition of MLSA’s work to provide civil legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence and break the cycle of violence.

MLSA received a Community Impact Award at the Montana Housing Partnership Conference recognizing the impact of the Keep My Montana Home program on saving homes from foreclosure in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis.

MLSA received the Montana Board of Crime Control’s Innovative Community Improvement Award for using technology to increase access to justice in rural Montana.

Why Work For Us?:

Live your values and put your law degree to work by representing people who deserve a voice in our legal system.
Great benefits, generous leave, and competitive pay.
Access to free CLE seminars and opportunities to attend national conferences and trainings.
The chance to hone your litigation skills in a friendly and supportive work environment.
