Family Life has an opening for a number of seasonal Youth Theatre Workshop Instructors. This is an opportunity to work with a trusted Christian ministry where Jesus is at the heart of everything we do. Family Life, in its 67th year of ministry, includes full-time departments in Performing Arts, Biblical Counseling, and Events as well as our regional Radio Ministry. The Performing Arts Department is committed to presenting quality family-friendly shows, events and teaching that uplifts and inspires. We do this through our full-scale mainstage productions, “Youth Theatre” Productions, concert events, and our Youth Theatre Workshops, held throughout New York and Pennsylvania.
Entering our 19th year of workshops, two highly skilled teams will be traveling to 16 locations this summer, teaching theatre, music, and dance at week-long theatre camps. Training is June 2rd – June 13th. Workshops run from June 16th – August 15th. If you are looking for the opportunity to travel, teach theatrical arts, daily food consumption, free housing, and the opportunity to impact kids for the kingdom of God, this might be for you!
