SUMMER SOCCER SCHOLARS - English as a New Language Instructor

South Bronx United's mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for social change, helping youth build character, teamwork, and leadership skills so that they can succeed in high school, college, careers, their community and beyond. South Bronx serves 1,400 boys and girls, ages 4 through 19, each year by combining soccer with academic enrichment, college prep, mentoring, leadership development, health and wellness, and legal and support services for immigrant youth. SBU is driven to accomplish our mission and promote the SBU Values of Showing Commitment, Bringing Integrity, and Uniting our Community in all that we do.

SBU is seeking dynamic educators who can effectively engage students through high interest content during our Summer Soccer Scholars Program. Summer Soccer Scholars is a five-week program for 80 middle and high school students combining soccer, academics, and life skills to keep youth active and learning during the summer months. Instructors will serve as lead teachers during the academic portion of the program and will be supported by SBU staff and summer interns. Applicants must be able to attend training and commit to the full summer schedule.

The Summer Soccer Scholars ENL program is held each summer for 10-15 middle and high school students who are learning English as a new language, most of whom are newcomers to the US. Students in this program have varying levels of English proficiency. Over the course of the five-week program (Monday through Thursday from July 8th to August 8th), the instructor will develop and implement differentiated lesson plans to reinforce reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The teacher will have one or two classes of students. The ENL instructor will also be expected to compile lessons, activities, assessments, and worksheets to create an ENL resource guide for SBU to continue implementing. The ENL instructor will need to commit to attending SBU training and teaching for the entire summer program.
