The Opportunity
Are you a dynamic leader who knows how to command a room? Summer Springboard is seeking a Workshop Facilitators to lead high-impact, interactive sessions for motivated high school students for our program on the campus of Vanderbilt this summer.
We are hiring for our Budgeting and Finance workshop: Facilitating practical financial literacy with a heavy focus on budgeting strategies and real-world independence.
This is not a traditional teaching gig. We don't do "sage on a stage" lectures. Instead, you will guide students through a fast-paced, 90-minute experience where they do the thinking, discussing, and deciding.
The Curriculum (Zero Lesson Planning)
We respect your time. The curriculum, slide decks, and simulation materials are 100% prepared and provided. Your role is to bring the content to life through expert facilitation and real-time coaching.
Workshop Highlights
- Foundational Skills: Moving students from "theoretical" leadership to practical application.
- Active Participation: Facilitators teach by "cueing and questioning" rather than explaining.
- Live Simulations: Lead students through pressure-filled scenarios where they must make real-time leadership decisions.
- Values Discovery: Help students identify their core values and a concrete leadership behavior to practice beyond the program.
Who You Are
- The Facilitator: You have a background in corporate training, executive coaching, higher education, or professional development.
- The Energy: You know how to keep 15-18 year olds engaged for 90 minutes through high-energy interaction.
