The retention of three core humanities staff positions to support curriculum development, teacher workshops, and live-virtual and in-person school field trips. 

The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience in Seattle, WA, seeks support for staff retention in our Education Tours area for three positions, Education Specialist, Senior Tour Manager, and Tour Coordinator. With these positions, the Museum will sustain core humanities programs and activities related to Asian Pacific American History in the Pacific Northwest including curriculum development, teacher workshops, and school field trips through retention of highly skilled core education staff who bring with them long-time experience working in community, deep humanities knowledge and understanding, established relationships with teachers and schools, and highly developed competencies in live-virtual tours honed over this past year. Tour participants and teachers gain access to preserved and immersive spaces in the Museum’s building and neighborhood to focus on Chinese immigration history, Japantown, Filipino American history, Lunar New Year traditions, and food heritage.
