Program Description: LEAP for Education operates a middle school afterschool and summer program in partnership with Salem Public Schools. The program promotes positive youth development, social emotional learning, and academic skill development. Project-based enrichment opportunities are offered each session in a variety of subject areas to provide opportunities for students to explore new interests in engaging ways, connect school day learning to new applications, and develop social-emotional and team work skills.

Job Description: During an 10-week afterschool session, the Fashion Design Enrichment Facilitator will design and lead a group of 17-20 students in an enrichment experience that introduces students to fashion design and teaches students different drawing techniques and design considerations. Over the weeks of the session, students have the opportunity to design their own creations and/or style of putting together clothing and accessories which will be showcased at the end of the session. The Enrichment experience will run two days a week --either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday—for 1.25 hours each day. Instructional time will be from 4:05-5:20 (M/W) or 4:45-6:00 (T/Th). Facilitators are paid an additional ½ hour each day for set up/clean up and 1 hour of planning time a week. Some paid planning time to plan activities prior to the start of the session will also be provided. Successful instructors may be invited to teach during our Winter and/or Spring sessions.

Enrichment instructors will have support in the classroom from Group Leaders who work with students throughout the afternoon and the Site Coordinator who oversees day-to-day operations.
