Pablove Shutterbugs is coming to New York City this fall! We are currently recruiting for a Regional Teaching Artist in New York City.

Pablove Shutterbugs, a program of The Pablove Foundation, teaches children living with cancer to develop their creative voice through the art of photography. In an educational setting, the five-week program instructs children to tell their story through photographs using perspective, light, composition, and technique. Our Shutterbugs are taught basic principles of photography while learning on digital point-and-shoot cameras provided by Pablove, and reflect on their work. The cameras are theirs to keep at the end of the course.

The role of the Regional Teaching Artist in this project will be:

• Participate in virtual or in-person training sessions to learn the curriculum, instructional methods, and age-appropriate strategies in working with children living with cancer.
• Track student progress, attendance, and correspond with participating families prior to, during, and immediately after the program.
• If needed, work with the local hospital and national office to secure a creative learning space outside of the hospital for children to attend class.
• Recruit and train three volunteers who will act as teaching assistants.
• Instruct five classes in accordance with the Shutterbugs curriculum for children living with cancer (ages 6-18).
• Administer evaluation tools to monitor the quality of the program.
• Review student work and select photos for a student exhibition to be presented to partner hospital and children.
• Contact families to help them learn about our policies, procedures, and structure of the program.
• Work with national office to troubleshoot issues, report progress, engage in on-going learning, and participate in a learning community with other regional teaching artists.
