Weyerhaeuser’s North Carolina Teachers on Summer Assignment

The Weyerhaeuser Corporation offers a Teacher on Summer Assignment (TOSA) program that allows North Carolina K-12 educators to gain first-hand knowledge of environmental issues and to experience real-world applications of concepts they teach in the classroom. Generally beginning the third week of June, the six-week assignments are held in various timberland and manufacturing facilities in Eastern North Carolina. Teachers are paid on an hourly basis and earn approximately $3,000. Lodging stipends are available for non-local, in-state teachers.

Teachers are required to work for the full six weeks of the program and attend all scheduled workshops. CEUs are available. They must create a lesson, activity, or curriculum piece for their classroom, make a presentation to the Weyerhaeuser team, do useful and valued work, and maintain a perfect safety record.

You may see current assignments on the North Carolina TOSA assignments page. For more information contact Linda Holton.
