We serve elementary, middle, and high school students in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and occasionally Manhattan. We strongly encourage multilingual candidates to apply, particularly those proficient in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Haitian Creole, Bengali, or Russian.

What You'll Bring
  • At least two years of experience working with school-age children in a school, after school program, community organization, camp, arts program, or similar setting
  • The ability to independently plan and facilitate programming in your area of expertise
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and classroom management skills
  • A dependable, adaptable, and resourceful approach
  • The ability to work autonomously while remaining connected and accountable to your team
  • Comfort using email and online systems to submit required documentation
  • The ability to travel reliably to your assigned school site
  • A bachelor's degree in education, the arts, or a related field-or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and training is preferred.
  • Current fingerprint clearance through the NYC Department of Education is also preferred but is not required at the time of application.
