SSP hires Teaching Artists to work with students in schools and multigenerational audiences within our communities. We are seeking community-centered artists who are looking to serve our neighbors with a Trauma Informed Care approach. Priority is given to teachers who have the potential to teach across several programs and have full availability for at least 2 of the following programs.
