READY. SET. GO!

If you’ve reached this conclusion, you’ve done enough research about us and that's so cool! Before you start to look at the programs we have available, think about your passion, what you love, and what you would really love to teach.
Learners are more excited about the workshops if they can see their instructor is passionate about them. Finding a mentoring program you’re excited about can require some time so we want to make sure you are able to teach what you love and help the next generation of cool creative people!

What time commitment can I make?
-
What age range of youth am I able to teach?

pursue a new interest, help with schoolwork, or just be a motivating teacher how gives awesome career advice? -
What teaching location would I prefer?
While thinking about these questions, remember to be open and flexible when planning to teach through The Smart Project. Helping others is amazing because it makes the world a better place.
