After-school Learning Program Assistant at Juanita Computer Learning Center

JOB OVERVIEW

Our vision is to provide a nurturing environment where youth are excited to learn, explore their interests, and have the opportunity to participate in out‑of‑school activities that help them make meaningful connections between academic success and overall development. Our college interns will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve this vision.

• Assist staff in developing individual education plans for students and grouping students into collaborative learning teams.
• Tutor children with homework and other school projects.
• Facilitate creative programs that foster mindfulness, social‑emotional learning, and related skills.
• Create and implement own ideas for creative classes that develop academic, teamwork, artistic, and social skills in youth.
• Mentor students from 1st through 12th grade in social and emotional development.
• Accompany and supervise children during outside activities, including sports and playground games.
• Must pass CORI/SORI screening.

Although the position is unpaid, many interns transfer the hours into college credits or fulfill volunteer/internship requirements related to a degree. Some educational institutions require prior approval before starting an internship for academic credit; it is the responsibility of the student to verify this with their institution.

• Teamwork
• Basic computer literacy
• Experience working with children (preferred but not required)
