TomTod Ideas - Adventure Curator
Adventure Curator
focused on programmatic implementation
TomTod Ideas is a youth development nonprofit that listens to, honors, and advocates for middle schoolers. Yep. You read that right. Middle schoolers, and only middle schoolers. We create programming specifically for 10-14 year-olds because we think their perspective is valuable and necessary for the community.
Since 2012, we’ve helped thousands of middle schoolers discover and love their community while finding ways to help it thrive. Using the latest research about early adolescent development, our programing allows students to explore idea creation through a community-focused, developmentally appropriate lens. Using a variety of mentor-based, experiential learning adventures, we connect the energy, imagination, and intuition of middle schoolers with the wisdom, resources, and experiences of adults, while equipping middle schoolers with vital skills which empower them to take action today and set them up for success tomorrow.
We are seeking a teammate with 5+ years of experience working with early adolescents, who is passionate about empowering middle schoolers while shifting cultural conversations on youth ability, education, and the common good. What’s that look like? Adventure Curators split time between:
➔ in-the-field work with a diverse array of middle schoolers in school and community settings
➔ ideation and preparation of engaging activities alongside the Adventure Curator team in our
creativity-infused headquarters
They work alongside partner teachers in classroom settings, craft idea implementation pathways alongside
middle schoolers, connect with diverse community leaders, and infuse everything with 20% more fun.
