Job Description
Arivakam Tamil Cultural Academy is a non-profit educational institution empowering North American Tamil youth through education of the Tamil language, history, heritage and arts.
Since 2008, Arivakam's focus has not only been the preservation and education of Tamil. Arivakam is committed to helping Tamil youth ages 4-14 to better understand and embrace their identity as North American Tamils.
At Arivakam you will find:
- Use of the international curriculum created for Tamil Diaspora Youth used by 15+ countries
- Written and oral exams
- Performance programs
- Community cultural events
- Spelling contests
- Student exhibitions
- Volunteer opportunities
- Prize-givings
- Workshops
- Art competitions
- Speech competitions
Arivakam has over 300 trained teachers and 150 schools across North America, and is growing every year.
Although North America is the second largest home to Tamils, many children shy away from their Tamil roots. We are putting the idea in children’s heads that they will probably fail before they even give Tamil a chance.
