Summary

The Department of Parks & Recreation is inviting community members to showcase their skills as an instructor in the upcoming Fall/Winter Activity Guide. We are currently accepting program proposal forms for a variety of areas, including dance, cooking, language, arts and crafts, music, outdoor recreation and any other ideas you might have. Programs may be designed in any category and for any age group, however we encourage applicants to review the current Activity Guide in an effort to avoid duplication of currently scheduled classes.

The deadline for inclusion in our upcoming selection meeting is April 28. Interested persons should review the current Activity Guide and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet, then complete and submit the form with a current resume and copies of any relevant awards/certifications.

Link to Strategic Plan: This announcement links to both the Social Equity and Cultural Vitality pillars by enhancing diverse, inclusive programming in the Activity Guide.
