Tutor students 1-on-1 or in small groups
Use both in-person and digital tools (yes, we blend tech + human interaction)
Be a mentor, motivator, and life-changer-all in a day's work
You'll Thrive Here If You Are...
A mission-driven educator (or aspiring one) who believes in helping all students succeed
Tech-savvy and comfortable navigating online learning platforms
Flexible, creative, and excited to work in a dynamic environment
Someone who brings patience, humor, and compassion to the classroom
Looking for a purposeful role, not just a paycheck
Must-Haves
Bachelor's Degree
A valid Florida teaching certificate - or a temporary certificate / proof of enrollment in an EPI or MAT program
Comfortable working full-time onsite at a DJJ facility
Willing to attend professional development, meetings, and trainings

Online grading and learning platforms
Digital curriculum tools
Basic troubleshooting & digital communication
Perks You'll Love
Be a changemaker: Help students rewrite their future
Growth & Support: Professional development, mentoring, and career pathways
