Full description

We are seeking a part-time teacher to lead fun and engaging visual art and design workshops with groups of elementary school children after school. Visual arts teachers will concentrate on one or more disciplines, including (but not limited to) drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and multi-media. The scheduled hours for Instructors are from 2:30pm to 5:00PM, when NYC public schools are in session.

Our programs are dedicated to supporting the social and emotional learning of participants by providing choice-based activities that empower student voices and using delivery methods that develop compassion, understanding, and kindness. In addition to being experts in specific fields of content, our Activity Specialists (Teachers, Coaches, Teaching Artists, etc.), are the educators who are most essential in ensuring that our after-school programs create experiences for children that are consistent with our vision of social and emotional learning: active listening, peer support, and radical kindness.
