Remote Education Research Consultant (Former School Staff or PTA Preferred)

Are you a former school staff member, PTA board member, or someone who understands how public schools choose afterschool programs? We're looking for a part-time researcher or consultant to help us uncover how different school districts manage enrichment and afterschool activities — and identify the right pathways to offer our programs in their schools. This is a remote, flexible role that can grow with you. You’ll start as a paid consultant (hourly), and if it's a good fit, we’ll offer ongoing project-based work where you’ll earn a set rate per school district researched. What You’ll Do

• Research how enrichment or afterschool programs are approved in specific school districts
• Identify key decision-makers (e.g., enrichment coordinators, principals, PTA leaders)
• Use AI tools (like ChatGPT) and a structured prompt we provide to guide your research
• Summarize insights clearly in a shared document
• Optional: Help shape outreach strategies or identify high-potential districts

Who This Role is Perfect For We’re especially looking for people who have firsthand knowledge of how school districts work — whether from inside or through community involvement. You might be a:

• Former or active PTA board member
• Retired teacher, school administrator, or enrichment coordinator
• Former vendor manager or program lead from YMCA, Right At School, or similar
• Public policy or education student with a strong grasp of school systems

What You’ll Need

• Familiarity with how public schools or districts operate
• Strong research and online search skills
• Clear written communication
• Comfort using AI tools (or willingness to learn — we provide a prompt)
• Bonus: Any experience working directly with afterschool programs or vendor onboarding

Compensation & Structure

• Initial phase: Hourly consulting rate ($35–$40/hr depending on experience)
• Ongoing work: Paid per completed district report (rate varies by complexity)
• Fully remote, flexible hours — work from anywhere
