MCNY is seeking qualified Teaching Artists to work with 9th-12th grade students from May-August 2022 through our REACH Youth Ambassadors SYEP Program. The Research, Education, Arts, Community, History R.E.A.C.H Youth Ambassadors are high school students who are dedicated to REACHING their full potential as NYC Cultural Ambassadors and change agents who will be introduced to several different cultural and arts learning imperatives with primary focuses on Creative Youth Development, College/Career Readiness, Entrepreneurship and Civic Engagement. Each Teaching Artist will work in pairs and work closely with one classroom for the duration of the 8-week summer program. Teaching Artists will develop a responsive curriculum, weekly lesson plans and field trips that introduce students to an artistic discipline while also building on past and current MCNY exhibition themes and NYC history. Teaching Artists will work with students to develop an exciting culminating performance or project to be presented to their peers and families at the end of the summer REACH Youth Ambassadors Program.
