Fine Arts Enrichment Specialist - Highbridge Middle

Originally founded in 1991 as Harlem RBI, DREAM has grown to annually serve more than 2,500 youth across East Harlem and the South Bronx through a network of seven PreK-12, extended-day, extended-year DREAM Charter Schools and community sports-based youth development programs. Through our commitment to rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, deep family and community engagement, and health and wellness, we create lifelong learners who are equipped to fulfill their vision of success in and out of the classroom. We dream big, as well, with an aggressive five-year plan to expand to serve 3,500 students across seven schools—growing our organization’s impact and leveling the playing field for all children.

Reporting to the Dean of Student Life, K-8 After School Enrichment Specialists create diverse learning experiences that focus on, but are not limited to, artistic, cultural or STEM activities for students in grades Pre-K to 8 in REAL Kids and DreamBuilders, DREAM’s nationally recognized after school program. Enrichment classes drive toward a collaborative culminating project or performance. Previous enrichment activities offered include Martial Arts, Hip-Hop Dance, Slam Poetry, Art Club, Robotics, STEM, and World Languages. Specialists deliver 45 minute-long sessions to teams of 18-20 students in grades Pre-K-8, supported by one Youth Worker.
