Make a Difference—One Smile at a Time! Do you believe in the power of play? Can you turn a rainy day into a fort-building adventure? We’re looking for an enthusiastic, kid-loving, fun-creating Youth Program Team Member to join our crew! In this role, you’ll be the friendly face kids can count on after school—helping with homework, leading games, creating arts & crafts masterpieces, and ensuring each child has a safe, happy, and enriching experience.

• The ability to stay cool and professional—even when things get loud or silly
• Top-notch communication and problem-solving skills
• Prior experience with youth programs, summer camps, or child care is a big plus
• Coursework or experience in childhood education is a bonus!
• Must pass state background checks (safety is our top priority)

Requirements

  You’re Perfect for This If You...

• Are not afraid to sing along, get messy, or be a little goofy to make a child’s day
• Can balance fun with structure to create a safe, respectful environment
• Want a job that’s rewarding, meaningful, and never boring

The Logistics

• Must be able to walk, bend, lift, and play during your shift
