Think you might love sharing music with young people in beautiful places? Gain experience in the classroom with Ethos and AmeriCorps!
Founded in 1998 in Portland, Oregon, Ethos Music Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides music lessons, multicultural performances, and outreach to thousands of students each year. We partner with and listen to students, families, and community advocates to collaboratively identify and remove a variety of barriers to music education.
Ethos' Rural Outreach Program is currently seeking people passionate about sharing music, collaborating with youth, and living in scenic places. Ethos places AmeriCorps members in rural Oregon communities (such as Condon, Mitchell, and Wolf Creek) to serve as music facilitators, where they live, teach, and gather support for music and arts education in schools. AmeriCorps members teach students during and after school, in classrooms, community spaces, and group lesson settings. The Rural Outreach Program not only brings music programming to youth, but also gives members the opportunity to gain valuable experience that can lead to a career.
Benefits include a living stipend, education award, as well as housing and gas reimbursement. Experience with music is necessary, but a music-based degree is not. Experience with children is highly encouraged. Federal and state background checks are required for placement in schools.
