Job Description
Manhattan Youth is looking for several part-time After-school Teachers/Activities Specialists to join our dedicated team for the 2022-2023 school year. We are seeking dynamic and energetic individuals to lead our performing arts activities for our singing, musical instrument, music production, comedy/improv, dance, and theater clubs.
After-school teachers are expected to guide students in their social, emotional, and academic development across a range of areas including sports, arts, academic enrichment, and leadership.

These are part-time, hourly positions available during the school year from September through June, following the NYC DOE schedule. After-school programs operate Monday – Friday from 2:30 - 6:00pm and clubs are 1.25 to 2.5 hours long. Individual schedules will vary by school.
