Workshop Facilitator for High School Program

Job Description

Job Description

About the Program:
Lanzando Lderes is an after-school program for adolescents grades 9-12 in the South Philadelphia Latinx immigrant community. LL takes place in-person at Puentes de Salud in South Philadelphia one afternoon per week (Thursdays). This program was developed and piloted in 2017 and officially incorporated into Puentes de Saluds education programming in the fall of 2018. In July 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the program lost funding/staffing and remained active in a limited state. The fall of 2022 was its year of return to in-person programming which allowed for it to benefit from 1:1 tutoring/mentorship. Now, Lanzando Lderes strives to be a space where Latine youth can receive academic and post-secondary support, while also learning meaningful leadership and day-to-day skills in an environment that is culturally-responsive and celebrates their multilingualism and multiculturalism.

Position Description:
Lanzando Lderes invites Spanishspeaking educators dedicated to creating comfortable bilingual learning spaces that are accessible to our high school students. Youll support the Adolescent Education Supervisor both before and during the programming, helping craft and deliver engaging workshops for Latine high school youth focused on socioemotional lifeskills, health and wellness, social justice, and college access.
