Ideal candidates will have strong academic and practical familiarity with the sites on the itinerary, as well as teaching and/or leadership experience with high school-age students.

The Paideia Institute is partnering with several elementary and high schools to start new Latin programs in the NYC area. We are seeking Latin teachers for both full and part-time in-person teaching opportunities in Queens and the Bronx. This is an opportunity to teach Latin to students who might not otherwise have a chance to study Classics. If interested, please contact our Outreach Manager, Aminata Hughes, at [email protected] for more information. Interviews for job placement are available as early as the week of May 20th, 2024.

We need your help staffing two new Teaching Literacy with Latin sites in New York City!

We are looking for several energetic, affable volunteers who enjoy working with elementary school students and are passionate about expanding access to the classical humanities to lead programming on a weekly basis. Volunteers must be available on Wednesdays at 4:00 PM for PS 12 (Brooklyn) or on Thursdays at 2:30 PM for PS 53 (Bronx), and be ready to start ASAP.
