STEM From Dance envisions a world where underrepresented minority girls are creative, confident, and equipped to be leaders and innovators in the STEM fields. To this end, SFD gives girls access to a STEM education by using dance to empower, educate, and encourage them as our next generation of engineers, scientists, and techies. Since 2012, SFD has partnered with schools and communities, serving more than 1,000 girls across New York City and beyond.

STEM From Dance has been on a consistent growth trajectory for the past nine years, increasing our budget by 10X and doubling our students served annually. We are at a pivotal and compelling moment as an organization and are thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome a new Manager, Programs to play a critical role in our next stage. This role reports to the Director, Programs.

As the Manager of Programs, you will lead and manage SFD’s “immersive” programs. This includes our summer programs and fellowships, which are designed to further and deepen the impact over a longer period of time, compared to our other programming. You are a strategic thinker, an exceptionally detailed planner, an effective relationship builder, and a team player. You are obsessed with creating systems that are efficient and accurate. You are able to support multiple priorities and move individuals toward stated outcomes. Lastly, but not least, you are driven by a belief that all girls can have a future in the STEM fields and you are passionate about supporting them in getting there.
