Looking for Summer Work?
SLAI hires about 40-45 Carleton students each summer – join our fun, vibrant, ambitious, and community oriented team!
For summer 2026 we’ll be hiring three different positions: Program and Community Assistants, Teaching Assistants for six different 3-week, and Teaching Assistant for 1-week pre-college programs. We hire students in every class year — including seniors graduating in June 2026.
The Program and Community Assistants (PACAs) work in the SLAI office, help run large scale events, and manage campus life aspects of the pre-college programs by running activities, living on residential floors with students, and keeping students safe. If you like creative tasks, work that keeps you on your feet, team collaboration, and working with young people, this may be the position for you!
Teaching Assistants (TAs) assist faculty in the classroom during our pre-college programs. Each TA works for a specific program, and often (though not always) the program aligns with the TA’s major or academic interests. If you like tutoring, educational studies, working with high schoolers, or guided research, this may be the position for you!
Dates of Employment for each position:
- Filled! Program and Community Assistant (PACA): June 22-July 25, 2026
- Filled! 3-Week Teaching Assistant (TA): July 1-24, 2026
