We do not currently have an open staff position. We are always happy to hear from people who would be interested in working at one of our centers. The Learning Cooperatives are on a mission to make self-directed learning for teens a viable alternative to school and create a financially sustainable model that can be replicated by others throughout the world.

Volunteer—share your interests and talents

Most of the adults who work with teens at our centers do so on a volunteer basis. The teens are always on the lookout for interesting, passionate people to teach them--the list of their interests is long and varied. If you would be interested in tutoring, leading a weekly class, or offering a workshop, please be in touch via the contact info for the Princeton, Bucks or Raritan centers.

Become an apprentice

Raritan Learning Cooperative is offering an apprenticeship opportunity to work directly with teens on a daily basis, share their personal interests by teaching classes of their choosing in a noncoercive environment, and learn the back-end of running a Self-Directed Education center. 

The position is open for the upcoming 2024-25 program year at our center in Flemington, NJ. Apprentice hours and days are flexible and would include in-person time weekdays between 9 and 3. The apprenticeship runs from Sept to June. Salary: $20,000.

This opportunity is open to anyone who is interested in education and wants to learn more about alternatives to conventional education. We are particularly interested in someone who will bring energy and enthusiasm to the day-to-day activities with the young people at the center.

Raritan Learning Cooperative is on a mission to make Self-Directed Education for teens a viable alternative to school and to create a financially sustainable model that can be replicated by others throughout the world. We are part of a network of Self-Directed Education centers, offering apprentices the opportunity to connect with and learn from people doing this work around the world.
