Teaching at CBI is unique within Junior Sailing – it’s not a camp, and certainly not your typical yacht club. CBI serves children ages 10+ from greater Boston, including those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to sail. CBI has fleets of Mercuries, 420s, Lasers, Windsurfers, Ideal 18s, Sonars, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards.
Workplace culture is consistently described as rewarding, cohesive, and fun. We believe that a tight-knit group of instructors who are happy to come into work create the best programming. The ideal candidates are team-players who are adaptable when necessary and invest in their students and in themselves as instructors.
The 2024 season includes a week of pre-season training and 10 weeks of programming, with the potential to start early for those interested. Pay is competitive, with opportunities for upward movement and professional development. In addition, all instructors receive a complimentary membership to our Adult Program in the afternoons and on weekends for them and one family member.
The Junior Program Instructor position runs from June 7th– August 23rd. This includes 10 weeks of programming plus one pre-season week of prep and training.
