Teaching Artist
Partnership with Children (PWC) is a nonprofit organization committed to empowering students to reach their full potential and succeed in school, society, and life. We work to provide school-wide critical counseling services, as well as family and community outreach in New York City public schools most impacted by the effects of poverty and trauma. We are one of the city’s largest providers of community school programs and school-based mental health services.
PWC merged with the Center for Arts Education (CAE), an organization that has delivered high-quality arts education programs that nurture the development of social and emotional learning in NYC public school students as a core part of their pre-K to 12 th grade education. PWC’s Arts Education programs and approach are rooted in an understanding of the impact of poverty and trauma on children, a steadfast commitment to antiracism, and expertise in children’s social-emotional wellbeing. We offer ongoing paid training and professional development for our Teaching Artist staff in healing arts, S.E.L, and culturally sustaining practices.
