Because of its size, location and breadth of activity, it's hard to believe that the
Kimmel Center has only been part of Philadelphia's arts and culture landscape for 10 years.
Beyond all the first-class performers and performances featured at the Kimmel, one of its best-kept secrets is its
Education Program, which has grown steadily through the last several years. It now serves more than 7,000 local youth of all skill levels and socioeconomic backgrounds, according to the Kimmel's Director of Education Julia Lopez.
"There's so much more we can do," says Lopez.
The Kimmel is hiring a Community Engagement Manager to help grow its Education Program. The successful candidate ill be critical to the development of community engagement strategies to support long-term relationships with a "diverse intersection of Philadelphia-area communities."
Part of that includes aligning the Education Program with select performances at the Kimmel. Experience in community organizing and cross-cultural competency is key.
