Thank you for your interest in tutoring with Venture Kids Club. We offer kids entrepreneurship electives with self-paced online lessons and live weekly classes. Tutors who work with us lead those weekly sessions (about $25 per week per student), use our course materials, and meet families in our Discord community.

How to join Venture Kids Club

  1. Tell us you are interested. Fill out the short form on our Tutor With Us page. Share a little about your teaching or mentoring experience, the ages or subjects you enjoy, and whether you hope to work with Step Up scholarship families.
  2. Share your credentials. Please be ready to share copies of certificates, a degree or transcript, a résumé or LinkedIn profile, or other documentation that matches the subject you will teach.
  3. Complete VKC onboarding. If we are a good fit, we will walk you through our materials, add you to the VKC Discord tutor role, and set a weekly class schedule. We may also ask you to complete a background check.
  4. Register with Step Up For Students as a personal service provider, if you have not already. If you will be paid through Venture Kids Club’s provider account, create a Personal account in EMA, upload your credentials, and request to be linked to VKC’s Business account once that business account is approved. Direct payments go to the business, not to a Personal account.

Start at Step Up’s Become a Service Provider Partner page and the Schools & Provider Login Portal. You can open EMA at apply.stepupforstudents.org. If you already have a parent EMA account, Step Up says you must use a different email address for your provider account.

For VKC weekly electives, the usual service category is Electives / enrichment. Keep your credentials current. Being approved as a provider does not guarantee that every student can use scholarship funds, or that a student has enough funds available. Families may request payment after the service has been rendered.

Step Up credential basics

For VKC electives, Step Up’s current public guides say a credentialed provider should have at least one of the following. Requirements can change, so please confirm the details in the current Provider Handbook and the Elective Courses guide before you apply.

  • Eligibility to provide part-time tutoring services
  • A valid or expired Florida educator’s certificate
  • At least three years of experience in the relevant subject area, shown by employment records (a résumé or LinkedIn profile may be accepted)
  • Current enrollment in a postsecondary program in the relevant subject area (transcripts should show the subject)
  • A degree from a postsecondary institution in the relevant subject area (transcripts should show the subject)
  • Certification or national accreditation in the relevant subject area

The service catalog generally needs the first and last name of the person teaching, proof of the credential, and the subject area or areas of instruction. You do not always need a Florida teaching certificate; a subject-area degree, relevant experience, or current enrollment in the subject can also qualify.
