Student and Family Engagement Service Member

Student & Family Engagement Service Member

The Student & Family Engagement Service Member plays a key role in supporting the delivery of Kid Power's academic, enrichment, and youth-development programs serving elementary school students. The Student & Family Engagement Service Member supports classroom implementation, student engagement, small-group and one-on-one assistance, curriculum preparation, and family-facing activities across Kid Power's after-school, tutoring, and summer programs. Key responsibilities include providing flexible student support, helping prepare and facilitate engaging activities, and strengthening consistent, high-quality program implementation.

This role is a strong fit for someone interested in education, youth development, social work, community engagement, or nonprofit programming who wants hands-on experience supporting the day-to-day implementation of youth programs. Members should be comfortable taking initiative while also working within established curriculum, program expectations, and staff guidance.

This is a fully in-person service position. There is no remote or hybrid service component. All service hours, including curriculum preparation, planning, documentation, phone or email outreach, and other program preparation, must be completed at Kid Power's office, assigned program sites, or in the community where service occurs.
