Hiring for Teach For America campus campaign:
Teach For America seeks undergraduate leaders to assist
(for a stipend) with recruitment on campus. Time commitment
6-10 hours per week. The work would involve developing and
implementing a plan to attract top students (esp., engineering
and science majors) to Teach For America, increasing Teach
For America visibility on campus (e-mail, campus press,
hanging posters, distributing flyers), assisting with event
planning. Needed are good communicators, reliable, with a
high level of initiative, and with student leadership experience.
The review of candidates begins immediately but the work
would start in August. For specifics, contact Ms. Molly Buckley,
