Substitute for our special education & early learning programs

Working as a substitute paraeducator or teacher is flexible and rewarding work. You decide when you want to work — and you'll make a difference for kids!

Substituting is a great opportunity for retirees, parents, college students and people in between jobs to earn money with fulfilling work and connect to our community. Work as much or as little as you want so you still have time to travel, take care of your family, study or build your career.
