About Togetherhood

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, break dancing, 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.

As a member of our network, you will be matched with opportunities to teach K-12 students at schools, buildings, and communities across the Boston area. These teaching opportunities will have 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 experiences for the children in your class to help them grow and develop a passion for your subject
• Consistently arrive at your class on time (or early!), prepared with the lesson plan for the day
• Help children understand why your class subject is so wonderful and how it has helped shape you as a person
• Earn $90–$120 for each hour of class

A fun, enthusiastic, adaptable instructor, with experience teaching school‑age children, 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

Teachers are paid per class, either a flat rate or per‑student as determined by the partner school. This is contracted, supplemental 1099 work. There is a separate materials budget for teachers to use for classes that require it.
