I was lucky to go to a school that committed significant resources to both sports and arts. Though I certainly wasn’t a standout in either area, I’m convinced that I was a better student because of both. It’s that connection that drives what the Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation does. They’re a New York, NY based non-profit that aims to “bridge the academic performance gap among under-achieving students by extending the school day and year with wholesome, skill-building activities designed to improve New York City children’s academic performance, health and wellness, attitude towards school, self-confidence, character and values, and opportunity for lifelong employment.” The organization was founded in 1992, and it now serves more than 50,000 students across more than 300 public schools.
The typical student served by the Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation comes from a low-income neighborhood and attends a lackluster school. They’re exactly the kind of kids (whether they’re in Kindergarten or High School), who stand to benefit the most from activities like sports and arts. The programs that the Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation offers them include Champions Club After-School Program, The C.H.A.M.P.S Middle School Sports and Fitness Leagues, High School Transition, and a bunch more. If you want to dig deeper into what the programs offer, there’s plenty of information on the Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation website. Give it a nice long look, and then check out their Jobs page. They don’t have a ton of entry level opportunities, but there are a few jobs you should check out including School Year Tutor/Counselor, SES Teacher, SES Lead Teacher, SES Assistant Site Manager, and Activity Specialist. Hopefully one of them will be a good fit for you.
