Bring a playful, encouraging, and student-centered approach

Provide engaging, interactive experiences that allow students to explore your area of expertise

Other creative, academic, or extracurricular areas that would enrich our students’ experience
You don’t need to check every box. If you have a unique skill, passion, or area of expertise that you think would be a great fit for elementary-aged students, we’d love to hear from you.

-
9–10 hours per week during the school year (4 afternoons)
