The Fellowship

THE WORK

The Eagle Rock Fellowship is a residential, community-based program for those passionate about alternative learning, social justice, and youth development. Fellows work closely with high school students in areas like teaching, wellness, and outdoor education, while also taking part in evening and weekend programming to support students outside the classroom. Fellows typically work a Sunday-Thursday or Tuesday-Saturday schedule, with regular evening responsibilities. This immersive role fosters growth through both structured learning and active community participation. 

Instructional fellows will spend one evening a week and one weekend day ‘on duty’ providing supervision for students during out of class time. As the job is residential in nature, fellows also participate in a number of activities outside their typical work day: community meetings, dinners with house teams, evening activities, affinity group meetings, intramural sports, community service, and transporting students off campus.

QUALIFICATIONS

We’re looking for candidates with a college degree, work experience in education and/or youth development programming, a passion for reengaging high-schoolers in their education, and the enthusiasm to devote time and energy as positive role models and mentors for our students. 

We also look for candidates who have spent time understanding their identities and how these shape their interactions with others, who can demonstrate knowledge and awareness of current social justice issues, and who have taken action towards creating more just and equitable communities. Applicants with experience, knowledge of and skills in the specific content area for which they are applying will stand out, though that may look very different from one person to the next; we value passion and interest along with experience. 

Eagle Rock is a tuition-free residential high school that serves a very diverse community of young people from across the country. As such, applicants should be culturally competent working with youth from all communities, regardless of race, political affiliation, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or ability. Applicants must be US citizens, nationals or permanent residents.
