Become a Leisure
Enrichment Instructor

The City of Sacramento Parks and Recreation Department is currently seeking instructors to offer fun and exciting recreational and educational classes to our community.  Our department offers a wide variety of recreational programs to citizens of all ages.  These programs take place in city parks, schools, community centers and other locations.

As a Leisure Enrichment Instructor you will enter into a Recreation Services Contract with the City of Sacramento that is designed as a 70/30 split. As a Contract Instructor you will receive 70% of all course revenue and the City will retain 30% of the total monies collected from your course (including registration fees and/or late fees).  The Contract Instructor and Leisure Enrichment Coordinator will determine a mutually agreed upon course fee.  All registration fees are collected and deposited by the City of Sacramento.

What can the City of Sacramento offer you as an Instructor?

• The City has great facilities.  We have classroom facilities, auditoriums and parks available for Leisure Enrichment courses.  These facilities are maintained to assure the comfort of instructors and participants.
• The City of Sacramento will place your class description in our Recreation Catalog which is distributed to more than 20,000 customers three times a year.
• The City uses a technologically advanced computer registration system.  The “Class” system allows us to maintain facility booking for your class and to process registrations in an efficient manner.  Instructors receive attendance reports, waitlist reports and we maintain the database to provide participant main contacts from all classes.  The system automatically reserves spots for waitlist participants when a cancellation in a class occurs.  Participants can register through the internet for classes and programs.
• We accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard for payments.  We offer registration through five easy customer friendly ways including:  mail, online registration, telephone, fax, or in person.
• See the online version of our Recreation Magazine to view classes offered.
