Open to current residents of New York City/New Jersey only.
We are looking for a committed, creative and talented individual to help us develop and lead a STEM Club for boys and girls in grades 6-8, the Club - Team ORION will be VIRTUAL, however, the instructor can look for/create opportunities that are in-person and those can happen from our "home base" in Newark. This is a new club for SoulPhamm (which is primarily sports and arts for high school students), so there is a great deal of autonomy for what the club will include.
Schedule: The instructor should choose 1 to 2 (45 minute) long sessions (any evening with primarily a 6:30pm start) or on a Saturday (between 12pm-6pm). Our season runs from October to June (with corresponding school breaks). We anticipate the STEM club to include 5-10 students (and will lean to the instructor's feedback on what a good number would be).
Potential instructors should send us a proposal of activities that can be done virtually for the students. Candidates will meet with the Director to learn more about SoulPhamm and to ask any additional questions. If there is still interest after the interview, the candidate will complete a volunteer application and the journey will begin.

Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of young people by providing unique artistic and athletic experiences and performances, and to assist them in achieving the highest standards of professionalism through the development of discipline, skill, confidence, cooperation, leadership, responsibility and character.
Our vision is to promote virtue, equity, unity, justice, faith, charity and a sense of common purpose and brotherhood among all people with an emphasis on the development and advancement of young people through education, athletics, service and the arts.
SoulPhamm was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of New Jersey on June 25, 2021 and is the "birth-child" of Coach Luis ("Lou") and Dr. Leisa Herrera ("Mz. Doc"). The organization exists to provide training to young people in a variety of sports and performing arts and unique opportunities to display those talents through competition and performance. By integrating mentoring, life skills, opportunities for community service and academic enrichment to the athletic/artistic program, we help make our scholar-athletes as well-rounded as possible, capable of meeting and overcoming any challenges they are faced with. Although Coach Lou passed away suddenly in January 2021, the official launch of SoulPhamm was held on June 26, 2021, which coincided with his birthday weekend. SoulPhamm will recognize its own founding, as well as the achievements of our young people every year on the fourth Saturday of June, as a tribute to the life and legacy of Coach Lou.
