Job Description

Art Education Assistant (Upcycled Fashion Design · Mixed Media) January-June 2026

Creative Nature NYC is seeking an Art Education Assistant to support our lead teachers in an upcycled fashion design class for children ages 5–10 .

If you’re a college student, an educator or emerging artist with experience working with children — and a love for art, creativity, and sustainability — this is a great opportunity to gain hands-on classroom experience in a dynamic, collaborative environment.

At Creative Nature NYC , children explore recycled materials, nature, and their imaginations through hands-on art and design projects. Together, we blur the lines between art, science, invention, and play — nurturing curiosity, care for the environment, and creative confidence.

Position Details

  • Commitment: January–June 2026
  • Schedule: 1.5-hour classes (after-school days 3:30-5:00 pm *Tuesdays)
  • Compensation: $40 per session
  • Location: Manhattan (Upper East Side & Upper West Side)

Responsibilities

  • Support the lead teacher in preparing materials and setting up the classroom.
  • Assist children (ages 5–10) with hands-on art and design projects, including sewing, collage, and creative use of recycled materials.
  • Help maintain a safe, organized, and positive classroom environment.
  • Follow directions from the lead teacher and anticipate classroom needs.
  • Encourage participation, cooperation, and creativity among students.
  • Assist with cleanup and transitions between activities.

Qualifications

  • Experience working with children ages 5–10 (as an assistant, nanny, camp counselor, or volunteer).
  • Interest in art, fashion design, and creative reuse of materials.
  • Ability to follow instructions and work collaboratively with a lead teacher.
  • Positive, flexible, and proactive attitude in a fast-moving classroom.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Ideal for Candidates Who

  • Are college students studying art, art education, early childhood education, or design.
  • Enjoy hands-on, creative work and supporting young learners.
  • Value sustainability, curiosity, and community-based art experiences.

Send a brief email to info@creativenaturenyc.org with:

  • Your resume or CV
  • Intro email with two sentences about your experience working with children and your interest in the role
  • Visual portfolio of projects with kids * if available
