Uptown Stories is seeking a Part-Time Site Coordinator for our afterschool program in an upper Manhattan elementary school. The Site Coordinator will play a key role in the management of the program, ensuring the Elements of Fiction writing workshops run smoothly while overseeing staff, developing curriculum, conducting community outreach activities, and maintaining a safe and enriching environment for our young writers. The Site Coordinator must be an expert communicator and multitasker, able to balance the hands-on responsibilities of leading an afterschool program, being a support for students, staff, and families, with a variety of administrative responsibilities. Site Coordinator must be SAC-credentialed.
Based in Washington Heights, Uptown Stories offers after-school, weekend, and summer creative writing workshops for children ages 8-18, led by rockstar teachers, who are also professional authors and artists.
Students learn the art and craft of writing, how to revise their work, and how to give and receive constructive feedback. Each workshop ends with a celebratory reading at the Word Up Bookshop in Washington Heights, and the publication of a paperback anthology, so every student leaves our program as a published author.
To ensure our program is accessible to our ethnically and economically diverse community, our tuition is “Pay-What-You-Can.” Uptown Stories creates an exciting, challenging, and supportive community where young authors thrive.
