SOCIAL JUSTICE INSTRUCTOR for unique human-relations outdoor school
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to work with 4th and 5th graders towards social justice!
Program Instructors Needed for a Human-Relations Outdoor School
September 7– October 18, 2008
The Mosaic Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, works towards a peaceful future by reaching children in their formative years. We unite young children of diverse backgrounds, provide them with essential skills to thrive in an increasingly diverse society, and empower them to strive for peace. Three 4th or 5th-grade classes, from schools differing markedly in socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic make-up, jointly participate in each 4-night/5-day session of our unique “outdoor school.” While typical outdoor schools focus on environmental science, ours focuses on addressing issues of difference and on building self-esteem and community. We create a microcosm of the diverse, inclusive, just world we want to see and show our young students that peace is possible. For more information, please visit our website at www.mosaicproject.org.
We are looking for dynamic, creative, warm, exuberant, experienced educators who are passionate about our vision. Instructors will participate in a 5-day staff training followed by five weeks of our residential outdoor school program in Napa , CA.
Responsibilities:
• Facilitate games, activities, and discussions that encourage students to appreciate and respect themselves and others.
• Provide a nurturing, safe, fun learning environment for our students.
• Work closely with other staff members to create a magical experience for our students they will never forget.
• Supervise high-school aged cabin leaders.
• Share your unique experiences, talents and skills with our community.
Qualifications:
• Experience in human-relations/diversity/cross-cultural education.
• Experience working with children, especially ages 9-11.
• Excellent facilitation skills.
• Stamina to work extremely long, but rewarding hours.
• Ability and desire to live and work in a tight-knit, diverse community.
• Medical, counseling, musical, theatrical, and/or art experience is desired.
