Program Instructor Opportunities Yarmouth Community Services (YCS) is currently recruiting instructors and course/program ideas for both youth and adults for Fall & Winter 2026-2027. The key to our program success is based on our qualified instructors and their dedication, enthusiasm, and knowledge. You may have a specific interest, hobby or expertise to share. YCS offers a wide variety of classes, activities, and camps that meet the diverse needs and interests of the Yarmouth community. Adult offerings tend to be one-night workshops, active classes or unique programs. Youth programs tend to be offered for a one or two-week summer camp in fitness, sports, arts, and enrichment. Program Date Information Your program dates should be planned between the dates of September 14 and June 15th. For school-aged student programs, you may want to avoid scheduling your program on the following dates: January 19 February 15-19 (February Vacation) April 16-23 (April Vacation) May 31 (Memorial Day) June 19th (Juneteenth) July 4th July 17th (Clam Festival) September 1 October 12 November 10, 25 - 27 December 23-January 1 Program Fee Information We make every effort to keep our programs affordable and accessible. However, during these fiscally challenging times, we are expected to operate at a “self-sustaining” level. YCS will split the revenue with 70% going to the instructor(s) and 30% going to YCS. Here’s an example: If the instructor sets the price of the program at $50 per person, YCS would receive $15 (30% of revenue) and the instructor(s) would receive $35 (70% of revenue) per person. Please note that lab fees can be charged to the student and are payable directly to the instructor. All Spring & Summer course proposals must be received by February 1, 2026 . If we do not hear from you by then, we will assume that you are not interested in teaching with YCS this season. Should you have any questions, or need some assistance in helping to create or modify a course proposal, please feel free to call. We look forward to hearing from you and having you as part of our 2026 program team. To submit a course proposal, please complete the form below. YCS reserves the right to reject any course proposal for any reason.
