Thanks for your interest in teaching with the City of Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation Department.

The Parks and Recreation customer is looking to expand their skills at an recreational level and at an affordable price. Ideally, we are looking for classes that have broad appeal, can accommodate diverse groups of people and where folks are encouraged to have fun!

While a strong interest in teaching is an absolute “must,” we’re also looking for instructors who have a dedication and passion for their subject matter. Previous teaching experience is highly recommended but not required.

Class Fees
Class resident fees are determined by adding the Instructor's proposed Base Fee and the Parks and Recreation Administrative Fee of $23.00. Please note when setting your Base Fee, non-residents pay an additional 30 percent to the base fee plus the $23.00 administrative fee. Instructors are paid a percentage of the base fee as referenced in their contractual agreement.

For example:  If your proposed Base Fee is $100.00, then the Resident Activity Fee will be $123.00 and the Non-Resident Activity Fee will be $153.00.
