About Togetherhood
At Togetherhood, we’re building something special: a vibrant marketplace where passionate educators meet schools and communities hungry for enrichment. Whether it’s arts & crafts, basketball, breakdancing, chess, or STEM, we match talented instructors with opportunities to share their skills and spark joy in the next generation.
 
Our mission is simple but powerful: “to infuse every community with high quality enrichment and education.” We're here to support you in sharing your craft, your voice, and your passion with kids who are ready to learn and grow. If you're a dynamic instructor who loves what you teach and why you teach it, we'd love for you to be part of Togetherhood.
What You'll Do

As a member of our network, you will be matched with opportunities to teach and lead Pokemon games to K-12 students at schools, buildings, and communities across NYC. These teaching opportunities will be for terms that could last anywhere from 6 weeks to 18 weeks.

As an after school instructor, you'll have the following responsibilities:
  • Develop age-appropriate Pokemon curriculum for after-school students. Curriculum should invite students to explore the captivating Pokemon universe through interactive games, creative projects, and strategic challenges.
  • Lead weekly in-person classes with enthusiasm and expertise where students dive into Pokemon lore, learn about types and abilities, and spark their creativity with themed arts and crafts- like designing their own Pokémon cards or inventing new characters. Along the way, they’ll practice strategic thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fun and inclusive environment. 
  • Establish a well-structured and lively classroom that keeps students engaged
  • Foster a positive, supportive, and encouraging learning environment for students of varying skill levels
  • Build connections with students in a warm and inclusive environment
  • Track student growth and offer positive, helpful feedback
  • Arrive prepared, on time, and ready to teach
  • Create a memorable experience for the children in your class
Teachers in the Togetherhood network are paid per class, either flat rate or per-student (determined by the partner school). This is contracted, supplemental 1099 work. There is a separate materials budget for teachers to use for classes requiring one.
How To Apply
  • Provide a resume showcasing relevant teaching experience AND experience in your craft/subject area. 
  • If you lack formal teaching experience, please share any other relevant experience or training in the application questionnaire
What to Expect
  • If your resume is a fit, we’ll reach out to set up a screening call on Google Meet
  • You will be assessed on teaching experience, expertise in your craft/subject area, punctuality, and reliability
  • The final step of the process is onboarding into our platform, ready to accept classes.
  • All instructors must complete and pass a background check and state-specific clearances requirements in order to work with children. 
 

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
