MuseumCorps Educator

Providence Children’s Museum Providence, RI

Are you interested in museum education? Museum outreach? Gaining experience in a nationally recognized museum? Providence Children’s Museum is now recruiting committed, creative people for our 2015-16 AmeriCorps team, which starts in early September. Across the country AmeriCorps members are getting things done through service in exchange for help in financing their educations. AmeriCorps MuseumCorps Educators inspire a lifetime love of learning for inner-city children in the greater Providence area. They design and lead hands-on “Learning Clubs” exploring fun math and science activities for elementary school-age children in after-school and summer programs, facilitate imaginative activities in Head Start preschools, deliver public programs at the Museum, recruit and mentor volunteers who facilitate play and learning in the Museum’s exhibits, and much more! In return for a year of service committed to hands-on learning and play, members will receive: Living allowance of $12,530; $5,730 educational award/grant; Health insurance; Child care allowance; Training in museum education, learning theory and public service; Professional development and networking opportunities.
