Teach Sailing with Hoofers in 2010

Can you sail or windsurf? Do you enjoy teaching others? The Hoofer Sailing Club is searching for 20-25 new applicants to teach sailing and windsurfing to children, college students, faculty and staff, and people with disabilities. Part-time and full-time paid and volunteer positions are available for this summer. Applications (due February 18) can be printed here or picked up at the Hoofers office in Memorial Union.

A typical day for a summer sailing instructor might include walking or biking from your apartment to the Union at the heart of campus, meeting with other instructors at 9 a.m. to put the motorboats in the water and discuss the on-the-water plan for your youth sessions (starting at 9:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m.), catching a quick bite to eat in between, taking a break to play on boats you'd like to sail, then teaching a 3-hour class for adults starting around 4:30 or 5 p.m. Other part-time instructors might opt to take a UW-Madison morning class or two, or carry another job and just teach in the evenings and on weekends. At sunset join a few fellow instructors for inexpensive food or, more likely, head to someone?s house to cook it up. Tuesday evenings at sunset are the weekly staff meetings followed by an evening of fun social activity. Hoofer alumni often report that their time with Hoofers was one of the most enjoyable periods of their lives with friendships or partnerships that last a lifetime.

Applications due February 18 at 4:30PM!
