NCAPER’s Crisis Analysis & Mitigation (CAM) coach program

Call for Crisis Coaches

The National Coalition for Arts Preparedness and Emergency Response calls arts administrators to apply to be coaches in its Crisis Analysis & Mitigation Coaching Program. The program is a nationwide network of arts responders trained to coach distressed communities in developing or expanding crisis mitigation efforts using the arts and creativity. Applicants should be employed in a national, state, or local arts agency or organization with the ability to add arts responder duties to their job responsibilities for at least one year. Applications are due by November 20, 2023, and the next trainings take place in January. The application form includes more details.

Call for Applications Deadline, November 20, 2023

With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, the
National Coalition for Arts’ Preparedness & Emergency Response (NCAPER) has developed the Crisis
Analysis & Mitigation (CAM) Coaching Program: a nationwide network of arts responders trained by Air
Collaborative to coach distressed communities in developing or expanding mitigation efforts using the
arts and creativity. Rather than waiting for another disaster to occur, NCAPER’s CAM Network coaches can
work with affected communities as part of the mitigation process to be better prepared for the next
disaster. Join twenty colleagues – certified CAM coaches – living and working in 17 states, the District of
Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

2024 Training Dates – all on ZOOM
January 16 & 18 3:00 – 6:00 PM Eastern
January 30 – February 2, 2:00 – 6:00 pm Eastern

Be one of twelve selected for the 2024 CAM Coach Training

Preference will be given to applicants from states that are not currently represented. There is no charge to the coaches for the training and certification; this is a free professional development opportunity! This opportunity could be right for you if you care about community resilience, enjoy working with artists and arts organizations, are good at making community connections, and want to build your skills and network.

  • Are employed in a national, state, or local arts agency or organization with the ability to add arts
