We are offering two types of teaching opportunities for first-, second- and third-year college students. You will receive a $250 stipend for attending all 25 training sessions. By attending the training, you commit to teach to one of the two science education programs. You will receive a separate stipend for teaching at the after school program (ASP_NW) or for the GEMS summer program. Extra bonus will be paid for students who are interested in teaching for both programs. Hourly rates depend on level of experience and will be discussed individually with each student.
