Posted by TeenSHARP on August 13, 2018

TeenSHARP is looking for middle school math instructors!

TeenSHARP’s mission is to prepare talented youth of color to attend and thrive at the nation’s top colleges. TeenSHARP adopted a research-based, yet unconventional approach of empowering youth to lead a peer level college access movement within their respective communities. To build this movement, TeenSHARP utilizes the largely untapped and undervalued resource – students themselves – to obtain systemic change in our schools.
We are excited to invite passionate and high achieving individuals to join our mission as we transform outcomes for our students. In your capacity as an instructor, you will work to help our scholars approach college readiness and grow as Appliers, Strivers, Starter, Connector, and Givers.
