Instructors Wanted

Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation is looking for new instructors to teach at any of the county’s Leisure Class locations, but especially the new Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center. We are seeking instructors in any and all medias and/or disciplines, i.e. language, drawing, painting, needle arts, jewelry, enameling, dance, exercise, etc. We are looking for instructors for youth and/or teen classes as well as adult classes.

Pima County contracts with instructors. Potential instructors will need to submit a completed Request for Proposal (RFP). We hope to have the RFP open and available for interested parties by early April 2008 and will be looking at potentially offering classes in June or September 2008.

Pre-proposal meetings will be scheduled for those who want more information about submitting a proposal, classroom facilities or the type of classes wanted.

If interested you may log onto the Pima County Procurement Dept. web-site (www.pima.gov/procure) and look for a copy of the RFP which you will be able to print out, starting around late March or early April.

For more information, contact Brenda Wilson at 740-3549, e-mail: brenda.wilson@pima.gov or Carolyn Lenz at 877-6156, e-mail: carolyn.lenz@pima.gov.
