Summer Teaching Fellows often encounter the challenge of building strong relationships with students in a limited timeframe, which can make classroom management and individualized support more difficult. Adapting lesson plans to diverse learning needs and maintaining student engagement, especially during summer months, also requires creativity and flexibility. Collaboration with fellow teachers and program coordinators is essential to share best practices and ensure a consistent, supportive learning environment.

What are Summer Teaching Fellows?

Summer Teaching Fellows are typically college students or recent graduates who participate in temporary teaching programs during the summer months. They assist lead teachers, help develop lesson plans, and support students in classroom activities, often in educational programs aimed at underserved communities. These positions provide valuable teaching experience, mentorship opportunities, and sometimes professional development workshops. Fellows often work in programs run by schools, non-profits, or educational organizations. The role is ideal for those considering a career in education or looking to make a positive impact over the summer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Summer Teaching Fellow, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Summer Teaching Fellow, you typically need a solid academic background, enthusiasm for education, and prior experience working with children or in classroom settings. Familiarity with lesson planning tools, classroom management software, and basic educational technology is often expected. Strong communication, patience, flexibility, and teamwork skills help fellows connect with students and collaborate with colleagues. These skills are essential for fostering a positive learning environment and ensuring students are engaged and supported throughout the summer program.

Job description

Teaching Fellow (Summer 2026)
Application Deadline: 30 June 2026
Department: Middle School
Employment Type: Internship
Location: New York, NY
Description
Breakthrough New York partners with ambitious, academically motivated, low-income students who aspire to be first generation college graduates. We make a long-term commitment to students on their journey to and through college, unlocking the power of education and a lifetime of opportunity. Our ten-year, tuition-free program arms students with the resources, relationships, and resolve necessary to succeed in high school, in college, and beyond.. Our tuition-free program supports over 500 students and their families from 7th grade through college. We accept middle school students who are furthest from high-quality educational opportunities yet show promise and potential: 99% of students identify as persons of color; 76% qualify for free or reduced lunch; and 66% will be the first in their families to graduate college.
As a ten-year program, Breakthrough New York supports students and their families through key transition points in their academic journeys. We provide academic enrichment through summer and after-school opportunities; coach students to gain admissions into selective high schools and colleges, and expose students to diverse interests and careers so they can shape their own trajectories.
In addition to nurturing individual talent, we cultivate a thriving community of like-minded peers and mentors who encourage each other's ambitions and passions. Personalized mentorship and holistic support are signature elements of our model, with over 200 near-peer seasonal staff and volunteers who work with students at each stage of our continuum.
The Breakthrough model works: over 98% of Breakthrough students graduate from college preparatory high schools, and 100% are on track to graduate from college. Learn more at Breakthrough NY's website.
