Careers at RFCUNYJob Openings

The Creative Arts Team (CAT) at the City University of New York uses the power of drama to support education, build social-emotional competencies and foster success in hundreds of classrooms, CBOs and other sites across NYC each year. Celebrating its 40th Anniversary, CAT has worked with more than one million youth -- students who reflect the City’s economic, ethnic, and cultural diversity. CAT’s professional Actor-Teachers use the key components of drama – character, collaboration, story, and the dynamic relationship between actor and audience – to create one-of-a-kind interactive learning experiences for young people to acquire concrete skills they can reapply in their own lives. As a $3 million program within The City University of New York (CUNY) - Office of Academic Affairs, CAT also collaborates with a wide range of CUNY programs that strengthen the educational experience of future and current college students.
