Purpose of this Application 

The College of Education and Human Development at Augusta University is hiring instructors for 2024 Kids University on June 3 – June 28, 2024. This youth summer program will be hosted in the University Hall of Augusta University. 

 We hire excellent instructors who are enthusiastic about the subjects or areas in which they teach. Our instructors implement highly effective classroom practices to create an engaging, interactive, and meaningful learning environment for children at Kids University. They are committed to the safety of each child and the quality of the service.    

 Please note that most of our children are returning from the previous year. Therefore, we expect instructors to bring fresh and innovative ideas to the camp each year to keep the children engaged and excited.

Declaration 

 Kids University is a self-funded program and does not receive funding from the university. Thus, the employment of instructors at Kids University is not guaranteed. We plan to accept 6 to 8 top applications in the first round. Based on enrollment, we will then make adjustments. If enrollment is low, we won’t be able to run the program or have to cut accepted applications. If enrollment is high, we will consider applications that are not accepted in the first round.
