Teach

Working in prison as a teaching artist requires a special set of skills and experience. We seek teaching artists with advanced arts training and experience as educators, especially in underserved communities. Becoming an RTA teaching artist is not a casual process. Criminal background checks, orientation, fingerprinting, and yearly TB tests are required by New York State. These complex logistics make RTA unsuitable as a term project or internship. Still interested? Wonderful! Send a resume to employment@rta-arts.org.

Volunteer

There are a number of ways to volunteer with RTA including: helping with props and costumes, volunteering at an event, hosting a friendraiser, joining a Committee or our Board of Trustees, or lending your time and expertise with pro bono services. Contact info@rta-arts.org to learn more.
