Contracted instructors conduct a variety of classes and workshops in our parks and recreation centers. From dance to art and tennis to fitness, our talented contract instructors enhance the quality and variety of programs we offer to the community.

Contracted instructors are:

Independent contractors and not employed by the City of Henderson
Under contract and paid a percentage of their program’s gross revenue
Expected and encouraged to set the class tone and develop the curriculum
Required to obtain a business license with the City of Henderson
May be required to obtain a liability insurance policy that co-names the City of Henderson as an additional insured for $1 million. A low-cost policy may be an option through SELIP insurance program. For more information visit Sparta Insurance Programs website.

Qualifications

To become an instructor, an individual must possess strong teaching skills; be positive, organized and dependable; have good communication skills; be prompt and reliable; and demonstrate a desire to develop and promote the program. We are interested in classes and workshops that are unique or fill a specific community need. Selections are made based on the instructor’s qualifications and experience, date and time availability, preferred location, need for the program, and marketability of the program.

Submit an Interest Form

If you're interested in becoming a contracted instructor or learning more about the process, we strongly encourage you to complete an interest form through Contact Henderson. Our staff will review your submission and may get in touch with you asking for more information. Online forms are preferred because multiple supervisors will have a chance to review them and potentially select your program.

It is important to contact us in advance because the majority of our programs are planned six months or more before they actually begin. Submitting an online application or meeting with one of our staff members does not guarantee selection as a contracted instructor.
