Help bring creativity, healing, and joy to New York students from the comfort of your home. CSOAF is seeking passionate volunteer instructors to teach virtual art, dance, or yoga classes to K–12 students across NYC public schools. Our programs support creativity, mental wellness, and community connection—especially for Title I students who have limited access to quality arts education.

What You’ll Do

• Teach 30–60 minute online classes in your specialty (art, dance, music or yoga)
• Prepare simple, engaging lessons that spark creativity and confidence
• Encourage self-expression and a positive learning environment
• Inspire students through arts-based learning and wellness practices
• Collaborate with CSOAF staff to support student participation and growth

Who We’re Looking For

• Individuals passionate about the arts, creativity, youth development, or wellness
• Experience in art instruction, dance, yoga, or related creative fields
• Comfortable teaching on Zoom or Google Meet
• Reliable, positive, and committed to empowering young people
• No teaching license required — heart, passion, and consistency matter most

Impact

Your time helps provide free arts and wellness programs to students who need them most. Volunteers play a key role in helping children feel seen, supported, and inspired every week.

Benefits

• Earn volunteer hours and teaching experience
• Build your portfolio and leadership skills
• Join a supportive, mission-driven team
