Non-Profit Organization Seeks Instructors in Financial Planning
Quincy Community Action Programs, Inc.’s (QCAP) Money Management Program is developing a new adult financial education program for the South Shore and Greater Boston area communities. We are seeking reliable individuals to teach financial planning classes for the public. Classes would begin in the Fall of 2012. QCAP is eager to work with professionals who are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and passion of financial planning. We are open to a variety of financial planning topics, including but not limited to:
§ Financial Planning in Your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

We are also looking for speakers who are willing to donate their time to provide seminars in basic budgeting or managing credit (60 to 90 minutes). QCAP has always provided these seminars for free, as they are particularly valuable for low-income households, which represent a large proportion of the clients we serve.
Currently, we are scheduling classes for Tuesday evenings, although other evenings and daytime hours may be accommodated. You may choose to conduct a class pro-bono or be paid. Compensation is $50 per hour of instruction, and service is contingent upon a sufficient number of paid registrants for a class. Paid instructors would be classified as independent contractors.
If you are interested in teaching at our organization, please contact Isaias Sarmiento at isarmiento@qcap.org or 617-657-5374. Isaias will contact you to discuss your proposal and schedule for a meeting. We look forward to hearing from you!
