Do you love working with teens? Are you passionate about sharing your skills and helping students explore future career paths? If so — we want to meet YOU!

At Arc Experience, we bring learning to life through engaging enrichment programs that support youth across Southern California, including San Diego. We value our instructors deeply and invest in their success by providing structure, support, and meaningful opportunities to make a lasting impact.

Our instructors are the heart of Arc. They work directly with students to spark confidence, creativity, and curiosity — all while helping young people envision what’s possible after high school.

About the Role

Arc Experience is seeking a Specialized Instructor to lead a 10-lesson enrichment course for high school students in the San Diego area.

This course will introduce students to foundational skills in culinary arts while also exposing them to potential career pathways in the field.

Twice per week for 5 weeks, or
Once per week for 10 weeks

The start date is April, with the potential for additional opportunities beyond the initial course.

Students will be introduced to hands-on, foundational skills in your area of expertise, which may include:

Core techniques and practical applications in culinary arts
Industry basics and best practices
Career exploration and pathways related to the field
Professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and creativity

You’ll lead your own class and create an engaging, supportive learning environment that encourages skill-building, confidence, and exploration.

Schedule & Compensation

Schedule: Flexible; generally between 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM, Monday–Friday
Hours: Based on course structure (10 total instructional sessions)
Pay Rate: $35/hour for instructional time | $22/hour for meetings or non-teaching time
Position Type: Temporary, part-time
Travel: Comfortable traveling between school sites within San Diego County and Arc offices as needed

What You’ll Do

Plan and deliver engaging lessons in your area of expertise
Create a positive, inclusive, and supportive classroom environment
Teach practical, hands-on skills aligned with industry foundations
Introduce students to career pathways related to your field
Attend occasional meetings or training sessions as needed

What We’re Looking For

Passion for working with and mentoring youth
Confidence leading a classroom independently
Strong communication and organizational skills
Reliable transportation for local travel within San Diego County
Teaching, coaching, or youth program experience preferred but not required

Why Join Arc?

Flexible, part-time schedule
Competitive pay for skilled instructors
Opportunity to inspire students through real-world skills

Be part of a mission-driven organization making a real impact in San Diego.
