After-School Enrichment Instructor
CodeFu San Fernando Valley | Part-Time | On-Site

We hire for energy and connection with kids first. We'll train you on the curriculum.

If you've worked as a camp counselor, after-school program leader, or youth instructor — and you know how to walk into a room of elementary schoolers and immediately have them with you — that's the skill we're hiring for. The tech side is something we can teach. The ability to engage kids, manage a classroom with warmth and confidence, and make learning feel like an event? That you bring with you.

About CodeFu San Fernando Valley

CodeFu is an after-school coding and STEAM enrichment program serving elementary school students (K–5th) at school campuses across the greater Los Angeles area. Our guiding principle: we are teachers first, programmers second. We choose instructors for their ability to connect with and teach young students — not for their coding credentials.

Our programs span introductory through advanced coursework in Scratch, Python, robotics, Minecraft modding, and website design — plus chess instruction and off-screen STEAM activities to keep students active and engaged. All curriculum is provided and supported; you're delivering a proven program, not building one from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Lead groups of 10–15 elementary school students through structured, hands-on lessons in a school setting
• Bring the energy and enthusiasm of a camp counselor while maintaining the structure and respect of a classroom — this balance is the job
• Deliver CodeFu's provided curriculum and adapt on the fly: adjust pacing, activities, or setup based on what your group needs that day
• Build genuine rapport with students and make them excited to show up each week
• Represent CodeFu professionally within the school community — parents and administrators will see you regularly

What We're Looking For

• Direct experience working with groups of kids — after-school programs, summer camps, youth sports coaching, tutoring, classroom aide work, or similar. This is the most important thing on this list.
• Outgoing, warm, and naturally engaging — you're comfortable being the energy in the room
• Basic comfort with technology — you're not intimidated by tablets, Chromebooks, or learning new tools alongside students
• Reliable and communicative — you show up, you give us a heads up when something comes up, and you take the school environment seriously
• Some experience in a structured K–12 or youth program setting strongly preferred
• Coding or computer science background is a plus — but not required. We provide full training on our curriculum.

• $35-45/hour
• 1–3 hours per week to start, with additional hours available in Spring and Summer sessions
