Early Learning Manager

OrchKids uses music as a vehicle for students to develop 21st century skills (creativity, collaboration, leadership, etc.) that are transferable to all areas of their lives. Marin Alsop, Music Director Laureate of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and OrchKids Founding Director, shaped OrchKids into the cornerstone of the BSO’s community engagement efforts across the city with her artistic leadership and direction. OrchKids was founded in 2008 with 30 students at one elementary school with seed funding from Marin Alsop and Founding Donors Rheda Becker and Robert E. Meyerhoff.

OrchKids now works with eight schools in Baltimore City, serving over 1,800 children from Pre-K through 12th grade during and after school.

In collaboration with several community partners OrchKids provides music education, instruments, academic assistance, meals, mental health resources, connection to social services, as well as performance and mentorship opportunities at no cost to students and families. OrchKids is an acknowledged leader in the El Sistema and social-change through music movement throughout the world.

This position will combine educational and programmatic responsibilities related to the development and success of the Education Department at OrchKids, with a strong focus on pathways from Pre-K through 3rd grade early learning classes into beginning instrument and choir programming. The Early Learning Manager will oversee all aspects of the early learning programming including teacher recruitment and training, consistent on-site instructional coaching & support, curriculum oversight and development, and new program offerings.
