June 18, 2023 - August 5, 2023

We're looking for enthusiastic, creative people to ignite curiosity in students and help create an inclusive, safe, supportive, and joyful campus community.

About Us

EXPLO is a mission-driven, educational non-profit with more than 88,000 student alumni who hail from 90 countries. We offer residential summer programs for students in grades 4 through 12 on three of the most beautiful college campuses on the East Coast of the U.S. We build a collaborative, transdisciplinary learning environment at our programs, where students drive their own learning through exploration.

Our Impact

For many, EXPLO is a life-changing experience. Our students sometimes describe it as the place where they feel like the truest version of themselves. As an organization, we believe learning should be joyful and create experiences with engagement, inclusion, and magic as first principles. Each summer we share these experiences with smart and curious students from all over the world.

The course will have a maximum of 16 students, and is designed to provide students with opportunities for hands-on, project-based learning. Depending on the candidate, there may be opportunities to run some afternoon art activities, as well.
