Facilitator-Instructor for After School Program: Focus on U.S. History

Teaching for Change seeks to hire a part-time facilitator-instructor for the McComb Legacies Project in McComb, Mississippi. McComb Legacies is a youth leadership program that provides middle and high school youth with the opportunity to learn about, document, and share their local civil rights movement and labor history. The youth also use the lessons learned from history to examine and take action to improve their world today.

The facilitator-instructor will be responsible for a week-long summer institute, working with the youth once or twice a week during the school year, and engaging key partners. The theme for the 2013-14 school-year will be selected by the students from one of the major Civil Rights Movement anniversaries.

Ideal candidates will have a passion for education and equity; ability to plan and facilitate hands-on, inquiry based learning; youth leadership development experience; knowledge of  U.S. history with a focus on labor and civil rights movements; and be located close enough to McComb, Miss. to be able to work in McComb twice weekly in after-school sessions with youth and occasional other dates as youth leadership opportunities arise.
