POSITION OVERVIEW
Destiny Arts Center (DAC) is seeking a full-time School and Community Program Coordinator to join a collegial community of talented professionals dedicated to the power of the arts to transform the lives of young people, families, and communities.
Destiny Arts Center’s mission is to inspire and ignite social change through the arts. For 35 years, Destiny has been committed to supporting young people as they develop their skills as artists, global citizens, and advocates for peace in their communities and beyond. Supported by our peaceful Warrior’s Code of values (love, honor, respect, responsibility, and peace), DAC artists establish a classroom culture of welcome to support youth’s sense of safety, value, and interpersonal connection. As a result, young people live peaceful, connected, and creative lives. Since its inception, DAC has worked to co-create a culture that de-centers dominant social narratives and uses hip hop dance, traditional African dance, and martial arts programs to center the traditions, resources, and creativity of queer and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). We have seen that as youth connect to their own stories and that of their communities, they broaden their awareness of social issues, and many have gained tools for arts-based civic action.
DAC offers sliding scale after-school, weekend, and summer programs at our North Oakland arts center. Our work focuses on creating safe and inclusive spaces for creative expression: welcoming and caring for every young person who joins us, providing opportunities to learn, grow, heal, and use movement arts to forge meaningful transformation in our young people and collectively in our communities.
