Want to Teach a Workshop?

We're always looking to collaborate with passionate creatives and makers who want to share their skills. If you love teaching and building community through creativity, we’d love to connect.

At DFW Young & Social Club, we operate on a profit-sharing model with out instructors. Our goal is to keep workshops affordable while fairly compensating instructors for their time and energy. We’re not just looking for experts; we’re looking for instructors who love connecting with people and cultivating a welcoming, engaging space.

To ensure a great fit, we ask all potential instructors to lead a mock class for our leadership team or attend a community event beforehand. It’s our way of making sure your style and energy align with the heart of our space.
