Call for instructors!

A paid opportunity to share your skills with community at Movement & Making!

Do you have experience teaching art, a traditional craft or a movement modality like yoga, dance or strength training that you'd like to share with your community in Klamath?

DiRT & Glitter is seeking community members to facilitate sessions at Movement & Making, our free monthly community gathering at AWC Community Center in Klamath!

Gatherings typically include an hour-long movement session, followed by another hour of making (if your craft needs longer to complete, please let us know) on Saturdays. Facilitators will be reimbursed for material costs, as well as receiving a $150 instructor fee.

If you have a skill or craft you’d love to share at Movement & Making, let us know by contacting Lauren Godla at info@dirtandglitter.org
