TeachUp! Interns/AmeriCorps Members offer learning and technology skill upgrading opportunities to
two beneficiaries: teachers and community members.

The TeachUp! Intern works 30 hours per week in an assigned school, assisting teachers to maximize learning through technology and working one-on-one with teachers to integrate technology into classroom lessons and activities to better engage students. The TeachUp! Intern also works 10 hours per week in Community Learning Centers, where they work with community members on technology skills that can enhance their lives with employment, health care, and education.

Each Intern is responsible for three core tasks in the school: supporting teachers' use of technology, consulting with teachers on tasks that apply technology in the classroom, and leading knowledge sharing activities. They are also responsible for two core tasks in the Community Learning Centers: supporting community members’ use of technology that will enhance every area of their lives and teaching them technology skills in order for them to become technologically independent.

We also have positions where Interns work directly with the Technology Department in the School District. Gain hands-on experience while giving back to your community!
