About DMF Youth

DMF Youth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers underserved students through high-impact dance education and life skill development programs designed to build self-confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self. Our holistic model blends dance, mentorship, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL), providing students with the tools they need to thrive in and beyond the classroom.

We partner with Title 1 schools and homeless shelters across New York City to deliver free afterschool and summer programs that center physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Since launching in 2015 with one site, DMF Youth has grown to seven partner locations and served over 12,500 students across all five boroughs, including East New York, East Harlem, and the Bronx. Our comprehensive, movement-based SEL curriculum supports students in developing key life skills—such as self-awareness, empathy, emotional regulation, and responsible decision-making—through joyful, affirming experiences.

About the Role

The Associate Program Director (APD) plays a key leadership role at DMF Youth, combining program oversight with hands-on involvement. Unlike a traditional administrative role, the APD is expected to actively engage in programming as a mentor, teacher, and role model to both staff and students.

The APD reports directly to the Senior Program Director, who reports to the Executive Director. The APD will oversee programming across multiple school and shelter-based sites in East Harlem, East New York, Brooklyn, and the Bronx—supervising multiple groups of teaching artists and ensuring alignment with DMF Youth’s standards, culture, and instructional practices.

To be successful, the APD must be a highly organized, strategic multitasker who thrives in both leadership and instructional settings. This role requires someone with strong classroom experience—especially in dance and arts education—and a deep understanding of Social Emotional Learning. The APD should be confident in giving constructive feedback, leading professional development, and modeling excellent instruction.

Mornings may include curriculum development, staff meetings, or coordination with school leaders; afternoons are typically spent on-site—supporting programs, supervising staff, jumping into classrooms as needed, and ensuring students are engaged and safe.
