High School to Art School Program and Outreach Coordinator at the Queens Council on the Arts (Queens, NY)
Do you want to give high school students a leg up in pursuing an art degree? This free QCA program aims to help high school grads get accepted into art colleges through portfolio-building and development. Grads seeking scholarships are assisted in both the search and application process. This project-based gig includes a long list of duties and responsibilities, but also seems kind of fun; it allows you to run around to local schools, rather than sit behind a desk all day. To apply you must be familiar with social media—this must say something about the future of art and education.
Salary: $10,000/year
