ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

The Sadie Nash Leadership Project (SNLP) offers educational programs to provide young women with an opportunity to analyze and explore leadership through rigorous coursework, experiential and skill based learning, and youth-designed activism projects. Every aspect of the program is designed to support and develop young women to both visualize themselves as leaders and actualize their leadership. Our mission is to strengthen, empower, and equipyoung women as agents of change in their lives and the world.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Faculty teach the coursework component of the Summer Institute, an award-winning program that enables high school aged youth to develop ideas, questions, and concerns as they explore leadership, social justice and activism. We are interested in courses that connect with our mission and also connect with the identities of the young women in SNLP. We are seeking faculty to teach either a CORE CLASS or a CREATIVE CLASS from JULY 7th to AUGUST 1st 2014.

CORE CLASSES: These classes are the cornerstone of the program and all young people attend them. Curriculum exists for the core classes but the faculty member will be required to develop and facilitate additional units and to modify and adapt existing units as needed. The core classes are as follows:

Social Justice Core – This course focuses on different types of activism, examines social justice movements, current issues, and identifies careers in social justice. This course will explore concepts of "feminism" "social justice" and "community."

Action Project Core – This course develops the activist skills and strategies necessary to create and implement a social justice project or campaign. The class culminates with a community action completely facilitated and led by young people.

CREATIVE CLASSES: These classes follow an elective-type format, and each participant selects one creative course of their interest. Creative faculty design their own curriculum based on their own expertise and interests. We select courses that are rigorous, engaging, and relevant to the young women we work with. Courses should employ popular education approaches and be highly interactive.

Creative Courses– These courses should have a hands-on focus on the arts (music, dance, visual arts, theater, writing, etc…) Past examples include:
- Free in My Body – Dance & Movement Residency
- Guerrilla Street Art – Young Women Claim Space in NYC
- Herstory: Devising Theatre – An Interactive Space to Create Activist theatre
