They are also budding artists, scientists, musicians, college students, neighbors, and future change agents eager to be seen, experience hope, and contribute. We believe everyone is a learner, and seek educators that value social justice and equity, compassion, patience, and flexibility. Salary Range: $57,543 - 81,498
