About the Role

We're looking for a creative, hands-on educator to lead our after-school arts and making program for kids — and to help guide the rest of the teaching team. You'll design projects, teach hands-on across a range of mediums, and support fellow teachers so every group stays engaged, on-task, and safe. Morning hours are reserved for prep, planning, and mentoring other teachers before students arrive. This is a full-time, year-round position, including our summer camp program.

What You'll Teach and Train

• Painting & drawing

• Sculpture & recycled/3D art

• Woodworking (kid-safe tools & techniques)

• Sewing & textiles

• Tinkering / basic electronics & mechanisms

• Cardboard structure building

• Cooking & food-based projects

Leadership Responsibilities

• Help other teachers brainstorm and plan age-appropriate projects

• Provide guidance on materials, techniques, and lesson pacing

• Check in on other classrooms/groups throughout the afternoon to keep kids and teachers focused

• Troubleshoot on the fly when a project or group needs redirecting

• Serve as the go-to resource for questions during program hours

What We're Looking For

• Experience working with children (ideally school-age, K–5)

• Comfortable across multiple craft/trade disciplines — jack-of-all-trades energy welcome

• Strong classroom management and safety awareness (tools, kitchen, materials)

• Some experience mentoring, training, or supervising other staff/teachers

• Ability to plan a rotating curriculum and adapt to different skill levels

• Patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited about creative exploration

Need to Be

• First aid/CPR certification

Nice to Have

• Background in art education, trades, or design

• Prior lead teacher or program coordinator experience
