Youth Programs Assistant Afterschool Counselor; Tues & Thu

Description

Do you love working with kids, bringing energy to every room, and making learning fun? Are you the kind of person who can turn a rainy day into an adventure with just a box of crayons and a great attitude?

If that sounds like you — keep reading! We’re looking for an enthusiastic After school Counselor to help lead exciting, educational, and engaging activities for our awesome group of kiddos. From homework help to outdoor games, arts & crafts to high-fives — you’ll be part of the team that makes afternoons the best part of their day.

• Team up with the After school Lead Counselor to guide and supervise a group of energetic, curious, and creative kids.
• Support daily activities such as homework time, outdoor play, arts & crafts, sports and games, reading, and more.
• Keep things fun and safe, following state childcare licensing standards.
• Be a friendly, encouraging role model — the kind of adult kids look up to.
• Help with group transitions and make sure everything runs smoothly.
• Communicate positively with both kids and parents.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming space.
• Be a team player — pitch in wherever needed to keep the club running smoothly.

• You’re 16 or older with a genuine passion for working with children.
• You’re energetic, responsible, and love to be on the move.
• You have strong communication and conflict resolution skills.
• You’re calm under pressure and cool with a little chaos (aka fun!).
• Prior childcare or youth programming experience? Even better!
• Ability to pass state-required background checks.

• Weekdays:
  After school hours (typically Tuesday & Thursday, 1:30PM–6PM)
• Occasionally:
  One Saturday evening shift (5PM–9PM) per quarter
• Flexibility for holidays, weekends, and special events is a big plus!

• Be on your feet (walking, standing, bending) for most of your shift.
• Be ready to jump into indoor and outdoor activities.
• Be adaptable and ready to work in a high-energy environment (noise and all!).

• Always bring a positive attitude and a team-first mindset.
• Deliver five-star service with a smile, eye contact, and kindness.
• Keep your workspace — and our entire club — clean and welcoming.
• Participate in service days, special events, and other fun club activities.
