ABOUT THE ED FUND: The Oakland Public Education Fund is the fiscal sponsor for Youth Beat. The Oakland Public Education Fund leads the development and investment of community resources in Oakland public schools so that all students can learn, grow, and thrive. Teaching Artists will be employees of the Oakland Public Education Fund working at Youth Beat.
ABOUT YOUTH BEAT: Youth Beat helps Oakland youth reach for their dreams and succeed. At Youth Beat, young creatives of color gain skills and knowledge needed to access careers in the media industry. They learn from accomplished media professionals and get hands-on training and job experience in video production, filmmaking, photography, design, and animation. Program participants also build confidence, teamwork and other soft skills required for success in most any career.
Youth Beat's social enterprise creative agency -- Youth Beat PRO -- produces high-quality professional video content and media for clients while also providing exceptional, real-world work experience for students and alumni.
Youth Beat is a fiscally sponsored project of the Oakland Public Education Fund.
ABOUT THE ROLE: We are staffing up for summer 2024 and the 2024-25 school year, and looking to add talented part-time Teaching Artists to our instructional team who are excited about sharing their craft with Oakland teens- in particular video production, film, design, and animation professionals. The summer position would start June 6th with 8-10 hours of meetings and prep in the first week, ramping up to 20-25 hours per week for the 5-week summer program. There are opportunities to continue through the school year at one or more of our school-site programs, depending on schedules, strengths and availability.
This is an ideal opportunity for local creators looking to secure some reliable part-time work, or those looking to get their foot in the door in the world of media education at a rapidly growing non-profit program. Staff members may also have the opportunity to take on additional hours and lead freelance media projects through our social enterprise production company, YouthBeat PRO.
Teaching Artists will report to YouthBeat's Education Director. They will plan and implement curriculum, help manage student projects as students create, and help to build and grow our media arts career pathway. Applicants should demonstrate a mastery of technical skills of video production or animation (ideally) as well as passion and an ability to connect with inner-city teens (a must).
YouthBeat is a quickly growing organization with a ton of potential for additional future hours and work. Our organization is growing quickly, and whomever we hire for this job would have an inside track at additional responsibilities and work in the coming years at YouthBeat.
Our Teaching Artists play a crucial role as we grow our capacity to serve more Oakland youth. We are looking for experienced, professional creators (video, photo, animation and/or design) who are excited about training and mentoring low-income, BIPOC teens. Could that be you?
