Apply to Become a Contract Instructor

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Independent Contract Instructor with The BirdHouse Community Garden, a program of the Dignity of Man, a 501(c)(3) organization. We are excited about the possibility of working together to serve our community by providing classes that focus on the study of ecology and the arts, and which cultivate a sense of biophilia in our members – the love of life and the living world.

Our purpose is to engage curious minds in a new story of interdependence, to restore shared wisdom, and to have fun doing it. Therefore, we seek educational activities that explore topics such as permaculture design & theory, medicinal plants, art, singing, science and storytelling, to name a few. We look forward to the possibility of working with you and ask that you read our FAQs below, should you have any brief questions about how you can become an Independent Contract Instructor at The BirdHouse.
