Community~Word Project believes that high quality arts education programs require professionally trained instructors. Through our rigorous, year-long Teaching Artist Training and Internship Program, professional writers, visual artists, and performers learn to transform their talents into creative teaching tools to inspire at-risk young people. Every year, over 40 artists graduate from our program, ready to help underserved students gain the literacy, creative thinking, teamwork, and public speaking skills they need to thrive, inside and outside the classroom.
TATIP graduates go on to work at CWP or at other cultural organizations, such as DreamYard, Studio in a School, City Lore, Teachers and Writers Collaborative, and Young Audiences.
The Training and Internship Program takes place between October and May, and includes training seminars, debriefing meetings and internships where participants observe and assist in CWP residencies in NYC public schools under the mentorship of experienced CWP staff teaching artists. The program requirements vary for the three different levels of training (New and Beginning, Advanced, and Undergraduate); please see each application for more details.
We encourage all serious writers, theater artists, visual artists, media artists, dancers and musicians to apply.
