Program Description
Summer Camp Teachers
Description
DREAM is seeking certified teachers to work in our 7th Annual Guzman Ariza DREAM Summer School and Camp, a five week program for at-risk children, aged 9-17. The summer camp offers additional educational support through individualized tutoring, experiential learning and specialized educational programs to students who are at risk of dropping out. Teachers will work in an area that best matches their individual talents (including English, math, ESL, heath, reading and writing courses) to guide the children in educational exploration. They will also work directly with Dominican teachers so that they may demonstrate hands-on learning to allow for replication and sustainability.
Teachers are asked to serve as mentors and show the children what it means to be a world citizen. Volunteers will introduce children to a cross-cultural curriculum, which explores topics as serious as racism toward Haitians, economic disparity, globalization and peaceful cooperation.
Highlights
Spend your week making a difference in the lives of Dominican at-risk youth, while having the weekends free for kite boarding or windsurfing on the beach, visiting historic cities, or learning more about the lifestyles of the locals.
Qualifications
Expectations: DREAM volunteers are expected to work Monday through Friday from 8-4:30 for the duration of camp. Volunteers will also be responsible for planning activities and lessons, assisting with teacher training workshops, and assisting with special projects.
Requirements:
* Experience working with children.
* Spanish skills: medium-strong.
* Teacher Certification.
* 18 years of age or older
Looking for certified reading, writing, math, and ESL teachers, and those with an interest in music, art, dance, computers or health. Experience working in the restaurant, travel, or hospitality industries is appreciated as a major part of our adolescent program focuses on these professional fields.
