We are seeking facilitators for visual, writing, and performance classes at one or more of our four teaching sites (the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, The BYA Community Studio, Thomas JS Waxter Children's Center, and the Lillian S. Jones Recreation Center). We are interested in building our community of artists to expand program offerings and engage youth with varied interests.

Classes/workshops may include: painting, drawing, printmaking, songwriting, MC writing, creative writing, and photography (limited). We are also interested in receiving workshop proposals from local artists.

All positions are temporary. Instructors will work with youth for approximately 6-12 weeks at a time. Classes may be extended based on the feedback received from participants and program budget.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop a 6-12 week class plan

  • Operate each class with BYA's values in mind
  • Track participant attendance and submit to BYA staff
  • Assist in the documentation of student work
  • Attend bimonthly trainings with other BYA staff and instructors

These positions require instructors to maintain patience, flexibility, and a good sense of humor!
