Are you a performing, visual or literary artist with teaching experience?
Are you dedicated to sharing your knowledge and talents with our community youth?
DREAMS is always looking for new teaching artists to join our team, either at our Northside Center or at one of our many outreach sites.
All of our teaching artists are independent contractors who are compensated on an hourly basis according to experience, etc. If you're an enthusiastic artist who is interested in being a role model and artistic mentor, we want to hear from you!
Please keep in mind that at DREAMS we implement best practices in both the arts and positive youth development. Our approach is grounded in part in the Search Institute´s 40 Developmental Assets theory (
http://www.search-institute.org/assets).
While we emphasize artistic excellence, we particularly welcome projects that further a student's community involvement, environmental awareness, social skills, cultural consciousness and emotional literacy.
DREAMS views creativity as an inclusive and innate attribute that all children possess. Our program’s philosophy includes a respect for youth, as well as a continued dedication to their intellectual, personal, and artistic development.
DREAMS offers after school programming Monday - Thursday between the hours of 3:00 - 6:30 pm. Our terms follow the New Hanover County School Traditional calendar and our summer camps are held in June, July and August.
If you have any questions or would like to teach at DREAMS, please contact lizz.wells@dreamswilmington.org
