Self-Directed Education
Resource Directory

The Dandelion Project is looking for creative, energetic people, who love facilitating with kids, and who are passionate about building a fun, self-directed aftercare environment with school-aged children (ages 5-12) from elementary schools in South Philly.

Applicants should be excited about actively creating a non-traditional kind of learning space that centers self-directed practices embedded within a supportive and nourishing community. Our program is growing a lot this year, and Aftercare Facilitator applicants should be committed to collaboratively working through the challenges and responsive shifts that come with walking the path while we are creating it. This work is messy and beautiful! Our new Aftercare facilitator will collaborate closely with the Director of the program (as well as other part time aftercare staff) to design, plan, and implement activities, plan our snack menu, coordinate and carry out pick-ups at the various schools we offer programming to, and support communication with families.

Committed to fostering a racially equitable and inclusive unschool community, we encourage Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color to apply.

We are looking for people with experience in:
-Working with youths in schools or alternative settings (summer camps, aftercare programs, etc.)
-Designing exciting and engaging activities with and for kids
-Moving through conflict with an eye on Transformative Justice
