Our mission is to empower youth through POSITIVE Arts self-expression, EDUCATION, community service, and bridging the cultures through the Arts. Our programs are designed to enrich the students' educational experience by exposing children from varying economical backgrounds to different forms of dance, art, music from different cultures in an effort to bridge the culturals through the arts.
This high quality and Award Winning Music and Arts After-School Enrichment program in Metro Atlanta is currently seeking volunteers to be Mentors, Academic Tutors and Instructors for this highly effective program. Also, If you can teach a unique form of art, then we want you to SHARE YOUR GIFT! OR if you are the best at making kids have fun through recreational activities, or teaching new concepts through Academics, then you would be a great mentor!
More than 90% of the students in our programs cannot afford advance tutoring, traditional lessons or camps and count on the generous gift of time from our volunteers to give them ACCESS to high quality Arts/Music, Educational tutoring, and loving mentorship during the school year. Because of our volunteers, we were able to impact over 7,000 students in 2014! We have several options listed below.
Please send us your availability for September - December. Choose from: Academic Enrichment: Math, Science, Reading, and Writing and/or Performing Arts Classes: Dance, Acting/Theater, Vocal, Piano, Guitar Fine Arts: Painting and Drawing. Technical Arts: Video Production/Film and Music Production/Recording.
The shift times are 6:45 a.m. -8am OR 4:00pm - 6:00 p.m. References and A Background is required prior to starting. For more information about our programs, please visit www.ArtportunityKnocks.org or call 678-355-8734.
