The Management Center

Overview
Headquarters:

Annual Budget : 
$10-50M
Size: 
11-50 employees
Founded: 
2006
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Mission: 

Our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results.

Programs: 

We want to see more social change in this country, and we know that producing it is hard. Disparities in money and power mean that social justice advocates need to fight not just as effectively as their opponents, but more effectively. That’s where The Management Center comes in: we help social justice leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations, so that they can get better results.

As the go-to resource on effective management for social change organizations, we’ve worked with more than 100 of the most influential progressive groups in the country and trained thousands of individual managers on the practices that help high-performing organizations deliver lasting results over time.

We offer both intensive hands-on coaching services for executive directors and their senior leadership teams, as well as a series of management training courses that supply practical advice and tools that managers can put to work immediately.

Since 2006, The Management Center has:

  • shaped the management practices of more than 10,000 individual leaders through our training program
  • helped more than 350 organizations get better results through stronger management
  • distributed more than 25,000 copies of our book Managing to Change the World
Why Work For Us?: 

5 Reasons to Work with The Management Center

1. By helping our clients, you’ll have an impact on the most important issues facing our country, like immigration, racial justice, health care, educational equity, and climate change.

2. Our clients are amazing people. You’ll work with leaders who go straight from talking with you to testifying on the Hill, leading a rally at the state capitol, or planning a new grassroots campaign with teams of organizers, and most days when you pick up the newspaper (or okay, read it online), you’ll see the results of their work.

3. Our team is awesome. You’ll be working with a group of smart, thoughtful, and genuinely nice people (at least we think we are!) who come from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds.

4. We’re committed to making our own organization one where people from all backgrounds – and in particular people with marginalized identities – thrive. While we have a lot of learning still to do, we’re working hard to incorporate equity and inclusion into all aspects of our work. That’s leading us to do things like proactively seeking to work with more groups led by and for people of color, supporting identity-based caucuses for our staff (we have people of color and indigenous people, LGBTQ, and white-identified allies caucuses), and making sure each person on our team continually hones their own cultural proficiency skills. More in the works here!

5. We try to practice what we preach: great management. You’ll have clear expectations, receive feedback (some of it even useful), get opportunities to grow and develop, and do it all in a culture that keeps the focus on real-world results and aspires to exhibit excellence with heart.

And a bonus reason… 6. We treat people well, from excellent salaries and benefits to flexible work arrangements to unusually good snacks.

Smith Center for Healing and the Arts

Overview
Headquarters: 
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Annual Budget : 
$1-5M
Size: 
1-10 employees
Founded: 
1996
About Us
Mission: 

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.
Awards & Accolades: 
*Smith Center has been widely recognized for its innovative services that meet the unique needs of those living with cancer in the DC region.
*In early 2020, Smith Center piloted an Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program at Medstar Washington Hospital Center (WHC), whose patient base includes a large percentage of low-income and minority residents in wards 5, 7 and 8.
*In September 2019, the Smith Center for Healing and the Arts/Inova Schar Cancer Institute collaborative Arts and Healing program won The Hamilton International Arts in Health Awards 2019. The award was in the category of Arts Transforming Environments.
*In 2019 Smith Centers was nominated for the third time as “one of the best small charities” in Washington, DC by the Catalogue for Philanthropy in their 2019/2020 catalogue.
*In 2019, Smith Center achieved a Gold Star rating from GuideStar.
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.
