    Description

    Take the Stage: Volunteer Drama Teacher & Coach Needed!

    Help our adult learners find their voice and build confidence through the arts.

    Academy of Hope is seeking an enthusiastic and creative Drama Teacher/Coach to lead in-person sessions at our Ward 5 Campus. We have a group of talented adult learners currently working on a special theatre project, and they need your guidance to polish their skills and get stage-ready! You don't need to be a Broadway star—just passionate about theater and helping others grow!

    You will help learners:

    • Direct & Guide: Assist learners with blocking, line delivery, and character development for their specific project.
    • Build self-confidence and stage presence.
    • Improve communication and public speaking skills.
    • Collaborate: Work with a group of motivated adults to bring their creative vision to fruition.

    Time Commitment:

    • Primary Shift: Thursdays, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
    • Frequency: Once or twice a week. (If you are available for a second day to help with rehearsals, please let us know!)
    • Location: Ward 5 Campus (In-person).

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    • Inspire: Use your passion for the arts to make a tangible impact on adults in your community.
    • Connect: Join a community dedicated to high-quality adult education.
    • Fun: Lead a dynamic, engaging class that breaks up the traditional study routine.

    Ready to Cast Yourself in This Role? If you have a background in theater, teaching, or simply a passion for the dramatic arts, we want to hear from you.

    Together, Let’s Make the Curtain Rise!
