About Togetherhood

At Togetherhood, we’re building something special: a vibrant marketplace where passionate educators meet schools and communities hungry for enrichment. Whether it’s arts & crafts, basketball, breakdancing, chess, or STEM, we match talented instructors with opportunities to share their skills and spark joy in the next generation.

Our mission is simple but powerful: “to infuse every community with high quality enrichment and education.” We're here to support you in sharing your craft, your voice, and your passion with kids who are ready to learn and grow. If you're a dynamic instructor who loves what you teach and why you teach it, we'd love for you to be part of Togetherhood.

What You'll Do

As a member of our network, you will be matched with opportunities to teach D&D classes to K-12 students at schools, buildings, and communities across Washington DC. You can also be matched with any other teachable skills that fit our catalog! These teaching opportunities will be for terms that could last anywhere from 6 weeks to 18 weeks. As an after school instructor, you'll have the following responsibilities:

• Conceive of and create an age-appropriate curriculum for your class
• Create memorable experience for the children in your class to help them grow and develop a passion for storytelling, collaboration, gaming, and D&D
• Consistently arrive at your class on time (or early!), prepared with the lesson plan for the day
• Help children understand why your role playing games are so wonderful and how it's helped shape you as a person

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
