About The Position

Prelude is seeking a part-time Instructor (Contract role) to support our high school internship programs. We are a remote team serving students in a growing number of cities.

Role start date: Early May 2026 Role Type: Contract Location: ~50% remote, ~50% in-person in St. Louis, MO Reporting to: Managing Director, Programs About Prelude Prelude partners with high schools and employers to create work-based learning experiences that help students develop the skills, experiences, and networks to pursue upwardly-mobile careers. Our mission is to accelerate students into purpose-filled lives that lead to economic freedom. Our Learn and Earn Internship Program provides high school students with year-long, paid internships at leading employers. These internships give students the opportunity to develop professional skills, gain meaningful work experience, and explore career pathways. Students begin their internship in the summer with a 1–2 week onboarding called Induction (view a sample intern induction schedule here). In the fall, interns are assigned to a team and work in their internship roles 6–10 hours per week for the duration of the school year. In parallel to their internship, students take an academic Intern Seminar course, delivered by a Prelude instructor. Intern Seminar is designed to equip students with key professional skills such as communication, time management, teamwork, and problem-solving. This course provides a supportive learning environment where students can reflect on their internship experiences, receive feedback, and build confidence in their professional abilities. Contract Role Overview As Prelude grows to support students at a growing number of internship sites in SY26-27, we’re seeking a dedicated Instructor to support summer Induction and school year Intern Seminar instruction. This role involves a mix of in-person and virtual instruction, as well as supporting student development throughout the year.
