Full-Time Staff Openings
Curriculum Writer
The Curriculum Writer will be the voice behind CAP’s lessons, curricula and professional development content across various program expertise. This is a generalist role, not a content-specialist role. It’s a role for someone who can sit with a teaching artist, fellow or therapist, draw out what they know and turn it into high-quality writing that is engaging and classroom-ready. Reporting to the Director of Professional Development, you will partner closely with program staff, CAP’s graphic designer and the philanthropy team to shape CAP’s curriculum and training content into a package other schools and districts will want.
Director of Professional Development
The Director of Professional Development will build and lead the training infrastructure that keeps CAP’s teaching artists, fellows, therapists and program directors performing at the highest level across Arts Ignite, Art Smarts and CAPabilities programs. This is not a content-specific role. It’s a role for someone who has mastered the craft of adult learning: designing PD that sticks, facilitating sessions that change practice and building systems that let CAP deliver excellent training with CAP’s own teaching artists, fellows, therapists, program directors and staff learning from one another along the way.
Grants & Proposals Manager
Are you energized by turning a strong case for support into the funding that makes it real? As a member of CAP’s Philanthropy Team, you’ll have the opportunity to secure the institutional investment that fuels free, high-quality arts education for thousands of Northeast Florida students. Through your research, relationships and writing, you’ll connect foundations, corporations and government funders to the transformative work happening in CAP’s classrooms every day.
Part-Time Openings
Music Therapist

Through your expertise and compassion, you’ll guide students on a journey of inspiration and growth, using music as a powerful tool for emotional expression, development and academic learning.
Teaching Artist
As a CAP Teaching Artist, you’ll inspire young lives by providing instruction in your field of specialty (dance, media arts, theatre, music or visual arts). You’ll create engaging, standards-aligned curriculum and lead enriching educational experiences that ignite students’ creative spirits and foster lifelong appreciation for the arts.
