OPERATIONS COORDINATOR (OC) | Paid Summer Internship Opportunity
WHAT? Operations Coordinators are part of our Summer Institute Operations Team, which is a group of ops-minded staff
responsible for the design, set up and execution of all institute logistics. This summer, Teach For America will run nine
centralized and eight regional training institutes around the country to train our teachers and prepare them to assume fulltime teaching responsibilities in the fall.
OCs will play an integral role in the daily operations of our program and are paid hourly.
They also have room, board and some travel costs provided. This team provides the infrastructure needed to deliver
outstanding instruction to ~5,000 summer school students whom our corps members in-training teach. While OCs aren’t in
the classroom, their work has a direct impact on the quality of our institute and corps members’ training experience.
WHO? Successful OCs are highly organized and detail-oriented, have exceptional problem solving skills, and are eager to
learn how a large, established non-profit works. They are typically rising seniors, and not current corps members.

successful non-profit organization operates. CCC’s would begin their work in the spring of 2014 and continue through the
2014-2015 academic school year.
WHO? This is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) who are
interested in applying to be a Teach For America corps member or staff member upon graduation. Specifically, students
who have strong organizational skills, an eagerness to work behind the scenes to support ambitious goals, a record of
