Calling All Art Teachers

We’ve built an incredible network of over 400 teachers, coaches, and instructors in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Now Togetherhood is coming to the DC area, and we’re looking for amazing instructors who are seeking flexible, good-paying, supplemental work, and are excited about having the freedom to use their own lesson plans and curriculum.

 

At Togetherhood, we’re building something special: a vibrant marketplace where passionate educators meet schools and communities hungry for enrichment. Whether it’s arts & crafts, skateboarding, breakdancing, or STEM through the lens of Harry Potter, we match talented instructors with opportunities to share their skills and spark joy in the next generation.

Our mission is simple but powerful: “to infuse every community with high quality enrichment and education.” We're here to support you in sharing your craft, your voice, and your passion with kids who are ready to learn and grow. If you're a dynamic instructor who loves what you teach and why you teach it, we'd love for you to be part of Togetherhood.

As a member of our network, you will be matched with opportunities to teach K-12 students at schools, buildings, and communities across DC. These teaching opportunities will be for terms that could last anywhere from 6 weeks to 18 weeks. As an after school instructor, you'll have the following responsibilities:

Conceive of and create an age-appropriate curriculum for your class

Create memorable experience for the children in your class to help them grow and develop a passion for art

Consistently arrive at your class on time (or early!), prepared with the lesson plan for the day

Help children understand why art is so wonderful and how it's helped shape you as a person

A fun, enthusiastic, adaptable instructor, with experience teaching school age children, and who:

Has excitement, joy, and passion for both teaching kids and personal development/learning

Knows how to create a fun, structured, and inclusive classroom environment

Brings your own voice and creativity to each class you teach

Is cooperative, supportive, flexible

Is dependable, proactive, and thrives when given autonomy … and also appreciates support and clear expectations
