About NORY:

At NORY, we design learning journeys where every child in NYC and Boston becomes a risk-taking entrepreneur, inquisitive problem solver, and empathetic leader.

About The Role:

Are you passionate about empowering teachers to be rock stars and foster engaging and fun learning environments for children? Do you have experience with leadership roles in a classroom or school setting? Do you have an educational background in education and education management and expertise in classroom and student observation analysis? If you’re continually pondering the best ways to nurture Generation Alpha and are eager to be at the forefront of such efforts, you might be the ideal candidate for our STEM Summer Camp Coach role.


Your Canvas:

1. Quality Assurance

  • Observe site directors and teachers to ensure all camp protocols are implemented properly, and the quality of the camp experience exceeds NORY standards.
  • Through written reports and after camp recap meetings, report the feedback of each campsite and camp staff member to set coaching goals.
  • Train and coach teachers to become the rock stars of our campsites by fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for both teachers and camp participants.
  • Observe and evaluate teachers' performance, providing constructive feedback to enhance teaching methods and camp experience.
  • Build healthy and positive relationships with the teachers to learn about their struggles and provide support, including stepping in when a campsite staff member calls out.

2. Child Development Insight:

  • Coach the site directors and teachers on how to manage behavior issues and foster positive reinforcement in the classroom.
  • Coach age-appropriate language and manner for each age group.
  • Provide feedback to the curriculum team regarding child development aspects of the lesson plans.

3. Knowledge of Special Education (Plus):

  • Support campers with special needs and conduct positive and effective communication with parents on 1:1 Support Service.


Application Requirements:

  • Resume
  • Cover Letter
  • Pre-interview: After NORY screens your resume and cover letter, we may conduct a pre-interview. During this step, we will present you with a series of scenarios and ask how you would approach each one. This process will provide insight into your views on pedagogy and compatibility with NORY standards.


Why This Role Rocks:

Joining us as a site coach is much more than a job—it's an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of our teachers and campers. You'll have a rewarding role where you'll help teachers develop into stronger, more empathetic educators who can thrive not only in our camp but also in their future careers. As a site coach at NORY, you'll grow into a nurturing and empowering leader within a community of visionary educators whose impact extends to hundreds of teachers and thousands of campers each summer. Your role involves building integral connections between teachers, operations, campers, and families, shaping memorable experiences for our campers while supporting and empowering our teaching team. Together, we'll enhance the camp experience and create lasting memories for our campers and team.


Join Our Vision:

We're searching for maker educators who are not just skilled and passionate but also align deeply with our core values. At NORY, our 'Ways of Being' guide everything we do:

  • We are purposeful in our actions, always asking "why" to cultivate inner motivation.
  • We ask "how to make it work" before wondering "if it will be possible."
  • Our decisions are grounded in data and logic.
  • We are accountable and disciplined.
  • We actively seek feedback, embracing different perspectives and effective methods that contribute to our growth.
  • We avoid superficial solutions, opting instead to thoroughly analyze problems to create sustainable, scalable responses.
  • We are unifiers, fostering a loving and caring team environment that deeply values empathy and compassion.

These aren't just words; they're the essence of our DNA. If these values speak to you, see how you align with our complete 'Ways of Being' at


Compensation and Benefits:

  • Compensation: $25 - $40/hr (15-40 hours per week)
  • Benefits: 401K for those who worked at NORY for 12 months or more


Ready to Make a Difference?

If shaping the best STEM learning experience for our future changemakers excites you, we can't wait to meet you. Please send your resume, and a cover letter explaining why you're the perfect fit for this role to sofia@nory.co.
