    Position Overview

    The primary responsibility of a Snapology Instructor—also known as a Snapologist—is to lead engaging, hands-on programs at our Dover Discovery Center and partner locations throughout the region.

    Instructors must be willing and able to travel to partner locations throughout our territory, including Barrington, Dover, Durham, Lee, Madbury, Newmarket, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Rollinsford, and Somersworth.
