Opportunity to inspire the love of learning to students who
the traditional education system did not work for.

The teacher would work closely with the YouthBuild staff team to integrate each of these components into the classroom.
The teacher will be responsible for assisting students in the YouthBuild program to complete their secondary education, and to provide necessary support services to enable participants to be successful. The part-time teacher will assist with enrolling and assessing students to determine the proper course of study that will lead to a high school diploma and prepare them for successful continuation to post secondary education.
