  • 1 person is interested

Imagine being a teen with big dreams of designing buildings, engineering innovations, or creating the next great invention-only to have no access to the tools that could make it possible. Do you want to help shape the future of young innovators by helping give them the tools and skills they need to succeed?

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit seeking a Volunteer AutoCAD Instructor to teach an Introduction to AutoCAD course for homeschooled and online high school students. This course is designed to promote college and career readiness by providing students with foundational skills in computer-aided design (CAD) and exposing them to careers in engineering, architecture, and design.

The instructor will guide students through basic AutoCAD tools, functions, and applications, helping them develop technical proficiency while reinforcing mathematical concepts relevant to CAD design. Students and the instructor will have access to an AutoCAD license.

Instructor Responsibilities:

  • Lead weekly live online lessons (45 minutes to 1 hour) on a set day/time of your choice, Monday through Friday between 10AM and 6pm starting early August until mid December 2025.
  • Teach basic AutoCAD skills.
  • Develop a final project assignment for students to complete.
  • Assign homework and classwork as needed to reinforce learning.
  • Provide support and feedback to students throughout the course.
Why Volunteer?
  • Make an impact by introducing students to industry-relevant skills.
  • Enhance your resume with valuable teaching and mentoring experience.
  • Inspire the next generation of future engineers, architects, and designers.
  • Receive a letter of recommendation upon successful completion of the course (4 months).
  • Join a community of educators dedicated to inclusive and accessible learning.
Qualifications:
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD
  • Comfortable leading live online classes and engaging with high school students.
  • Passion for mentorship, education, and career development.

If you’re interested in sharing your skills and shaping future innovators, we’d love to have you on board! Apply today to become a Volunteer AutoCAD Instructor!

Mission Statement

The Floating Freedom Foundation is dedicated to advancing education and literacy for underserved communities, inspired by the legacy of The Floating Freedom School. We believe in the transformative power of knowledge and work to create accessible, inclusive learning opportunities that empower individuals to break cycles of inequity. Through educational programs, resource distribution, and advocacy, we strive to make lifelong learning a reality for all.

Description

The Floating Freedom Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting literacy and educational access, particularly for marginalized and historically underserved communities. Named in honor of The Floating Freedom School-a secret school on a steamboat that provided education to enslaved individuals-the foundation carries forward its legacy of resilience and empowerment through learning.

Our initiatives focus on:

  • Literacy Programs: Providing books, tutoring, and reading initiatives to foster a love for learning.
  • Educational Access: Supporting students and educators with free or low-cost educational resources.
  • Community Empowerment: Partnering with grassroots organizations to bring educational equity to communities in need.

At Floating Freedom, we believe that education is a fundamental right, not a privilege. By addressing educational disparities and advocating for literacy, we strive to uplift individuals and communities-one book, one lesson, and one opportunity at a time.
