Become an Instructor

A paid summer role helping students build real-world skills — without burning out.

  • 🧭 The Role

    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 cirriculum
    • 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.

  • 🛠️ What You’ll Actually Be Doing

    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.

  • 🚫 What You’re Not Responsible For

    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.

  • 📘 Curriculum & Structure

    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

  • 🤝 Training & Support

    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.

  • 🎯 Who This Role Is For

    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.

  • 🛡️ Safety & Professional Standards
    • All instructors are paid employees
    • Police background checks are required
    • Programs run in supervised, in-person environments
    • Clear expectations around professionalism and conduct

    Student safety and instructor support are non-negotiable.

  • 🌱 Why People Say Yes to This Role
    • You get paid for meaningful work
    • You help students build real confidence
    • You gain experience in facilitation and leadership
    • You work inside a structured, well-run system
    • You contribute to something tangible in your community

    This is real responsibility, without chaos.

  • 📍 Location

    The Money Club.Org is hosted at UTSU Student Commons, 230 College Street, Toronto, ON M5T 1R2.

    • Safe, appropriate space for each cohort
    • Easy transit access
    • A setting that supports hands-on, collaborative work

    All programs are in-person and take place in supervised indoor environments.

    Registered families and instructors will receive full location details well in advance of the program start date.
