Hanover County Parks & Recreation continually searches for new recreational program offerings and instructors. Thank you for your interest in offering a program to our community. In order to be considered as a contracted instructor, you must complete and submit a Program Proposal Form describing the program that you would like to instruct/offer. Programs vary depending on the subject matter, some meeting once a week for multiple weeks, some lasting only one day.
Please note that all Program Proposals are reviewed based on factors including, but not limited to, community demand, existing courses, previous history, location and demographics. Recreation staff will contact you regarding the status of your proposal.
Responsibilities of the Contracted Instructor:
The Contracted Instructor is responsible for outlining the details of the program(s) they wish to instruct and submitting program proposal form(s) for consideration. Our professional recreation staff will lend their expertise on program length, location and fees, the program content is yours to create and deliver. A completed program proposal is required for each program and session.
