FRRPD is a leader in providing recreational experiences for our community members.  We do this through programs created by the FRRPD staff as well as talented instructors who bring specialized talents to the community.  Come and be part of this dynamic team and provide an opportunity for people to grow and learn new things.

Many of our instructors have years of experience teaching and enjoy the benefit of being able to offer classes without the overhead of owning their own business.  There is an opportunity for local businesses to offer classes at their business as well.  These classes would not be offered at FRRPD facilities due to the special equipment necessary.  This will enable FRRPD to offer classes such as Ceramics, Sewing, and Dance without severely impacting the limited facility space at FRRPD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instructors are paid a percentage of the registration fees collected for their class. If class is taught by a FRRPD Employee Instructor, the instructor will receive an hourly rate. If classes are taught by an Independent Contracted Instructor, payment received will be 60% of the registration fee.
Instructor payments are processed at the end of the class session. Paydays are determined by the pay schedule of the district and vary for each instructor. This will be covered in a new hire orientation.
If you have a business that also offers similar classes to the one you would be offering through FRRPD, you are considered an independent contractor. An example of this is a ceramics studio offering classes through our activity guide. They hold a business license and offer these classes in a formal business environment. If you have a special interest and want to share that experience with others, you would become an employee of FRRPD. An example of this is an individual that would like to teach people how to knit and will be holding class in one of FRRPDs facilities.
Registration is available at the FRRPD district office. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Online registration is available for some programs.
If you are teaching classes at your business or a non-FRRPD facility, you would be required to provide proof of insurance with FRRPD named as additionally insured. The specific requirements are listed in the policies and procedures section of the Instructor Handbook.
You will receive a request for class proposals for each new activity guide. A request for proposal does not guarantee acceptance each time. Your class will be reviewed each season and may be discontinued for the following reasons: No facility space, low or no registration for previous classes offered, or a change in direction for the district.
Please call the FRRPD office at 530-533-2011 and ask for the Recreation Supervisor.
