Millstone Scholars Teaching Fellows- Part Time

About the Millstone Scholars Program

Millstone Scholars is a National Honors program for 7th & 8th graders attending public and secular independent schools in communities across the US. We are now entering our 4th year with 30 cohorts around the U.S. and growing.

Each week over the course of a full academic year, students participate in seminar style classes (in-person) with fellow young Jews eager to discover their own Jewish history and heritage in an intellectually serious way. As they explore Jewish texts, the heroic story of modern Israel, and the influence of Jewish Ideas on America, a strengthened Jewish identity emerges.

We are currently seeking working professionals and graduate students with a passion for Jewish education to facilitate the Millstone program in local cities across the country.

This is a part-time, in-person position based in the city of the educator’s cohort(s). Cohorts are typically 10-12 students and meet once per week for 75 minutes over the course of the 8-month academic year.
