Substitute Art Instructor | Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation

The Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation is searching for a part-time substitute art instructor for their Saturday art classes. As a substitute you will be called upon (no less than one week prior) to teach the classes if the current art instructor has other obligations on a Saturday. This will generally not include holidays, as the AUAF is usually closed on major holiday weekends. This position is for someone who does not currently have commitments on Saturday mornings and afternoons, (dependability is key for this job) and is looking for side work approximately once a month. Training for the position will begin mid March and the first class the substitute will teach is April 9th.
The AUAF is a small cultural center located at 4343 W. Touhy in Lincolnwood IL, a suburb on Chicago’s North West border. The goal of the AUAF art program is to offer opportunities in the fine arts to Lincolnwood’s Assyrian youths at no charge to their families. Children enrolled in the art program are of all skill and experience levels.
