Classroom Facilitator – Mankato

Fecha de publicación: 9/23/2026
Tipo de puesto: Salario de tiempo completo exento
Ubicación: Based out of Mankato, MN

Project Success is looking for a Classroom Facilitator to join our growing team in Mankato. Project Success is a youth development nonprofit organization that works with more than 17,000 6th–12th grade students and their families annually, creating meaningful opportunities for students through classroom Workshops, Arts Experiences, Expeditions, and Institute programming. Project Success has partnered with Mankato Area Public Schools for the past three years, and we are now growing our Mankato team to reach more students and deepen our programming in the community.

Our team of Facilitators work directly with 6th–10th grade students in classrooms at our Mankato Area Public Schools (MAPS) partner schools. They lead Project Success workshops throughout the school year that help students explore who they are, think about their futures, and develop the skills and confidence to get there. Facilitators use established Project Success curriculum, prepare and adapt lessons for different groups of students, and work closely with classroom teachers and school staff to create engaging learning experiences. While classroom facilitation is the primary focus of this role, Facilitators also support out-of-class programming, including events, field trips, and other experiences that deepen relationships with the students they work with during the school day.

This role reports to the Mankato Site Director and is part of the Mankato Programs team at Project Success.

Our ideal candidate enjoys being in front of a classroom, building meaningful relationships with students, and creating engaging learning experiences. They have experience leading or facilitating learning experiences with young people and are comfortable adapting lessons or curriculum to meet the needs of different students. They are detail-oriented, organized, and excited to work collaboratively to meet student, teacher, and school needs. Facilitators undergo continuous training on culturally responsive and inclusive teaching methods, and the ideal candidate for this role must be willing to continuously learn and incorporate those learnings into their work.
