Become an Instructor | The Money Club.Org

As a Money Club instructor, your job is not to babysit and not to invent curriculum.

Your role is to:

• Present materials based on the curriculum
• Guide students as they work through real projects
• Ask good questions
• Stress-test ideas
• Help teams think through trade-offs
• Keep students focused, safe, and supported

All course materials, activities, and structure are provided. You are there to facilitate.

On a typical day, you’ll:

• Present course content
• Help student teams clarify ideas and next steps
• Ask questions like:
  • Who would pay for this?
  • What does it cost?
  • What happens if this fails?
• Help students work through:
  • Pricing decisions
  • Simple budgeting
  • Team dynamics
• Support presentations and practice sessions
• Keep the day moving smoothly and on time

You are hands-on, but not alone — structure and support are built into the program.

Let’s be clear about boundaries. You are not expected to:

• Design curriculum
• Prepare lesson plans from scratch
• Teach finance theory
• Run logistics solo
• “Perform” as an expert

This is operational leadership, not daycare.

The Money Club.Org runs on a pre-designed curriculum focused on:

• Financial literacy (costs, pricing, margin)
• Product and service design
• Market research and demand
• Communication and presentation
• Decision-making under constraints

You don’t need to master everything — you’ll be given:

• Clear daily objectives
• Structured activities
• Discussion prompts
• Guidance on how to support students effectively

Before the program begins, instructors receive:

• One-week paid program onboarding and training
• Walkthrough of curriculum and expectations
• Guidance on facilitation and group dynamics
• Clear escalation paths if issues arise

During the program, you’ll have:

• Defined roles and responsibilities
• Ongoing support
• A predictable daily rhythm

You are never expected to improvise your way through problems alone.

This role is a strong fit if you are:

• A University of Toronto student
• Interested in education, public policy, economics, non-profits, or systems thinking
• Comfortable working with youth
• Calm, curious, and reliable
• Interested in real-world experience — not résumé padding

No prior teaching experience is required.

If you are earlier in the pathway or want to build toward future chapter leadership, start with the instructor application so we can route you appropriately.
