| Job description |
| Job description: |
Publicolor seeks program coordinators for our Paint Club program, an afterschool program through which teenagers are taught the marketable skill of commercial painting, then are empowered to paint the public spaces of their own school in warm, welcoming colors. This program builds a sense of ownership and provides many students with their first experience of success. The program is transformative for both the schools and students involved. Program sites are typically in middle or high schools in Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Manhattan serving a mostly low-income, inner-city student body.
Responsibilities:
- Program staff members work in pairs Tuesday through Friday afterschool and all day on Saturdays (25-30 hours a week). On Saturdays, groups of corporate and community volunteers paint alongside students, and staff encourage open communication and informal mentoring throughout the program. Staff also serve as vital liaisons to school principals as well as administrative, custodial, and security staff.
- Publicolor offers a salary commensurate with education and experience and competitive with other arts and education programs.

Qualifications:
- Ideal candidates will be dynamic, enthusiastic, engaged, and born leaders with superb communication skills.
