Teach-A-Thon

Business Professional Application

To participate, sign up below!

For the Teach-A-Thon, we recruit business professionals, culinary professionals and community leaders to teach in person in a classroom.  However, it’s not career day. Instead, each volunteer teaches a lesson while being supported every step of the way and gaining insight into public education.

Learn more about how it works here!

  • Through September 24: Sign up to participate. Deadline: October 15
  • Mid-September: You will receive an email with your teacher’s contact information.
  • September - January: Coordinate with your teacher, teach your lesson, and fundraise.
