The Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) is seeking a substitute teacher to teach at-risk adolescents in residential facilities run by the Department of Youth Services. This is an excellent opportunity to experience teaching in an alternative setting in which you can make a difference in the life of a young person. We hope you will join us in this rewarding work!

Are you interested in making a profound difference for youth as a Substitute Teacher?

If so, we are interested in you.

We are a progressive and innovative non-profit organization dedicated to providing personalized and engaging education to youth placed in DYS programs across Massachusetts. 

We are seeking experienced and aspiring educators who are passionate about making a difference through substitute teaching. Our teachers have small classes, averaging 5 students, provided work plans for our substitutes and behavior support in the classroom. Students have access to a wide range of behavioral and therapeutic supports available to support their success, including clinical, behavioral, and guidance services. 

Our students are budding artists, scientists, musicians, college students, neighbors, and future change agents eager to be seen, experience hope, and contribute. We believe everyone is a learner, and seek educators who value social justice and equity, compassion, patience, and flexibility.
