At CARD, we partner with local organizations and individuals who bring programming to our community. There are two primary ways we define these partnerships. The first is through our Contract Instructors,  and the second is through our Contract Programs. This page shares details on both options.

Below are the final steps after classes are approved  by CARD:

1. Complete a W-9 Form
   This is necessary for tax purposes. You'll also need to choose your preferred method of payment:
   • Direct Deposit
   • Check Mailed to You
   • Check Picked Up at the CARD Office
2. Secure General Liability Insurance
   You’ll need to provide proof of insurance with CARD listed as “additionally insured” on the policy.
3. Live Scan Background Check for each Individual
   All instructors are required to undergo a background check. The cost is $32, which will be deducted from your first paycheck.
4. Sign the Program or Instructor Contract Agreement
   After reviewing, you’ll need to sign a contract via Adobe to finalize the process.
