Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Civic program instructors lead groups of middle and high school students through experiential educational programs in Washington, D.C. and other historical sites. They facilitate issue-centered discussions, guide site visits, and foster an inclusive environment for respectful discourse.
Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and possess strong public speaking and interpersonal skills. Applicants must also be authorized to work in the United States and pass a criminal background check.
Company Overview | Close Up is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, civic education organization that aims to inform, inspire, and empower young people to become active participants in our democracy. We believe a strong democracy requires engagement by all citizens. Therefore, we seek to reach youth from all communities and all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender, socioeconomic level, or academic standing. Since 1971, we have partnered with schools nationwide to serve more than one million students and educators through experiential programs in our nation’s capital and in local communities, professional development for educators, and curriculum and resource design.
Position Overview | Civic program instructors are passionate about history, politics, government, current public policy issues, and experiential education for diverse students in grades 6-12. They lead daily program components for groups of students from across the United States, using our nation’s capital as a living classroom.
Note: This is an in-person position.
Responsibilities | Each week, Close Up’s civic program instructors are a catalyst for engaging middle and high school students from across the country in experiential programs in Washington, D.C. (with opportunities to travel to New York City, Philadelphia, and other historical sites for day trips or local programs). Throughout each day, they hop on and off buses, guiding students through all program lessons and site visits in the D.C. area and other program locations. They lead an assigned “workshop” of 25 students over the course of the week as they have issue-centered discussions and deliberations; visit historical sites, monuments, museums, and government institutions; and attend meetings with policy experts and elected officials with the goal of empowering students for a life of active citizenship. Some weeks, an instructor may take on a support role for a program to help care for students who aren’t feeling well or help the program leader with other tasks. Instructors are responsible for fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students can explore multiple perspectives and engage in respectful discourse across ideological differences.
Qualifications | Candidates must meet all criteria for this role.
Compensation and Benefits | The initial contract period is from February 1 until June 25, 2027. At the conclusion of the initial contract period, there may be an opportunity to join the Foundation in a full-time/full-year role. Compensation includes:
Scheduled Hours | The civic program instructor schedule does not follow traditional working hours. Each week mirrors the student program schedule to which an instructor is assigned, generally a 50-hour week.
If you are excited about the prospect of empowering youth in civic engagement, we welcome you to apply on ADP and explore how you can join an amazing network of civic program instructors who have led more than one million students through the once-in-a-lifetime Close Up experience over 50+ years.
No phone calls or recruiters, please.
Close Up Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
