Youth Education Apprenticeship 2025
We’re excited to announce a Spring 2025 apprenticeship opportunity to become a Teaching Artist with the Donkey Mill youth team! This 6-month training program is designed for artists interested in pursuing a permanent teaching position within our in-school and after-school programs.
By the end of the apprenticeship, participants will be equipped to build a robust arts-integrated curriculum that blends art, science, and Hawaiian culture. They will also be able to apply the National Core Art Standards and the Nā Hopena A‘o for our in-school programs. Artists will gain a strong sense of community with both local and visiting artists and learn to collaborate on art curricula with other teaching artists.
Application Deadline: Saturday, October 26, 2024
