NOW HIRING: Program Manager
TINY WPA is looking for a strong designer and experienced fabricator who loves people, especially supporting everyone from kids through seniors in designing and building great things that make a positive difference around issues or in places that are important to them. You must be incredibly comfortable working, leading and following people who are not like you--whether it be age, gender or socioeconomic background. You also must be comfortable being ‘strong and wrong’. While teaching experience is a plus, it is not required and first and foremost you should be good at and find great joy in working with people. Having deep curiosity in how people best learn and create or an entrepreneurial background will also be helpful.
