Work with Oakland Youth!
BAY-Peace:
Better Alternatives for Youth
supports and empowers Bay
Area youth to transform
militarism and other forms
of violence through youth organizing and artistic resistance. Thanks to a threeyear
grant, we are expanding our collective!
Interviews
start
June
25th!
We want to talk with YOU if
you’re ready to “throw down for the town” in a group that works to:
•Prioritize the empowerment of low income youth of
color in Oakland,
•Take creative action for better alternatives to
violence and oppression,
•Directly involve young people in making decisions
about what happens within the organization, and in taking leadership in the
community,
•Facilitate peer based education, youth organizing and
cultural resistance that is firmly rooted in the experiences of Oakland youth,
•Develop youth led forum theatre pieces, spoken word
and other Resistance Arts Projects, and create video documentation of this work.
We’re
looking for folks who will:
•Commit to strong, lasting mentoring relationships with
youth from diverse backgrounds
•Understand the intersecting issues that affect young
people in Oakland
•Build connections with our allies in the struggle for
peace, justice and liberation
•Share your talents in Hip Hop, Theatre of the
Oppressed, spoken word and/or visual arts
•Use your computer and skills
to get business done (multimedia is a plus!)
•Raise your
voice to represent BAY Peace
in the community
•Work independently, meet schedules & follow through on
projects
•Contribute
to the personal growth of everyone on
the team — including yourself
•Step outside your comfort zone and have fun!
Positions include: Program
Leader, Youth Leader & Theater of the Oppressed Trainer
Hours, schedule
and pay are negotiable. Dopeness is not!
