Educational Alliance was founded in 1889 and is one of New York City's original settlement houses. Today, EA partners with the diverse communities of Lower Manhattan to offer New Yorkers high-quality, transformational programs and services that enhance their well-being and socio-economic opportunities. Educational Alliance has a powerful impact on our community through intertwined programs that include education, arts and culture, substance abuse and prevention, older adult services, health and wellness, and community-building. We believe that the right programs can dramatically unleash the potential - for happiness, productivity, and creativity - in people who often don't have that opportunity. All EA programs have a firm commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and community. Educational Alliance emphasizes innovation and flexibility in our programming that allows us to explore new initiatives in social services delivery. Examples include a one-of-a-kind early childhood program that integrates families from all social strata, a family resource center that marshals an incredible array of services in a one-stop shop , and a drug treatment program that holistically addresses the underlying, individual causes of addiction. Many of these programs have served as models for government and other nonprofits nationwide. JOB PURPOSE We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Instructor to join our team.
