Teach A Class
The Cupertino Parks and Recreation Department contracts with a variety of external vendors, organizations, and individual instructors to provide a robust and wide range of offerings to the community. Contracted instructors are not City employees, function as independent contractors, and may offer classes, camps, and/or programs throughout the year. Programs are categorized as follows: Youth and Teen Education, Enrichment, Sports, and Fitness, Adult Enrichment and Fitness, Senior Programs, Sports Center Instructors and Trainers, and Outdoor and Nature Education.
If you are interested in teaching a class through the City, please first review the City of Cupertino Contract Instructor Manual(PDF, 441KB). This manual contains important information on how to become a contractor, including insurance requirements, program procedures, general contractor expectations, and standard protocols and emergency information.
Instructors looking to offer or continue offering classes must submit a Contract Instructor Activity Proposal Form to the Parks and Recreation staff for review.
