Interested in teaching?
We are always looking for experienced
instructors and new course ideas.
Our instructors come from varied backgrounds, from
Northside teachers to business leaders, and all share one
characteristic: a passion for sharing their area of interest.

If you have an idea for a class, please visit our website and
submit a proposal detailing the course you would like to
teach and what makes you the perfect person to teach
it. Our coordinators review all applications based on our
program needs and student requests. We plan four to five
months in advance for our semesters, and work to select
seasonally-appropriate classes. If your proposal fits a need,
the coordinators will be in touch to further discuss your ideas.
