The Doing Good Teaching Mentor guides and leads students at each stage of the Doing Good program. The teaching Mentor ensures all students meet attendance and program requirements including the implementation and completion of their group’s service-learning project. You will work as part of a team that includes co-teachers and the Manager of Programs and Student engagement on preparing and executing program content and lesson plans. A minimum of two professional development workshops will be required each school year. (Teaching Mentors are compensated for professional development activities). Project 440’s highest priorities are to provide a welcoming, engaging, challenging, and fulfilling learning experience for all of our students.
Doing Good is an intensive twelve-week afterschool program that teaches leadership and service and fosters an entrepreneurial mindset. Students develop communication and collaboration skills and learn budgeting, event planning, project management and more. In the second six weeks of the program, participants work in teams to apply these skills to create and implement a final arts-focused service-learning project.
Each team receives funding of up to $500 to implement their project. After the projects have been completed, each group gives a project presentation at the Doing Good graduation attended by family, friends, and community members. Each student receives a stipend of up to $825 at the conclusion of the program.
