Penumbra is hiring for the following positions:

P.R.I.D.E. Teaching Artist (Part-Time)
Penumbra has engaged youth for over 30 years through drama, racial equity residencies, and our transformative Summer Institute. Our newest offering, the PRIDE (Positive Racial Identity Development and Empowerment) program, expands this legacy by offering holistic, developmentally responsive education for children ages 2–22. PRIDE uses storytelling, movement, visual art, and other artistic practices to support youth in developing positive racial and cultural identities, healing from harm, and imagining a just world.

As Penumbra prepares to pilot this new program, we seek passionate, equity-rooted Teaching Artists to lead in-school residencies across Pre-K through Post-Secondary age groups throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area. Facilitators will co-create joyful, rigorous learning spaces that blend embodied artistic practice, trauma-aware care, anti-oppression pedagogy, and reflective collaboration. Facilitators will be trained in PRIDE’s curriculum and reflection tools prior to working directly with students.
