Are you a kid-whisperer with a big heart, a quick mind, and a love for hands-on fun.
YSS is looking for an energetic, big-hearted Summer Kids Club Program Assistant (PT) to help create a safe, fun, and engaging space where kids (grades 3–6) can learn, play, and just be kids. Our Kids Club program keeps the adventure going beyond the classroom with hands-on activities, creative projects, games, and plenty of opportunities to build confidence and friendships.
As a Program Assistant, you’ll be part mentor, part activity mastermind, and part calm-in-the-chaos superhero. You’ll lead and support daily programming, provide tutoring and enrichment activities, and create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, included, and encouraged.
What you’ll be doing (besides being awesome):
- Supervising and engaging children in daily Kids Club activities
- Leading full-day programming during summer break
- Helping plan and run educational and recreational activities
- Coordinating with community partners to bring fresh experiences to the program
- Preparing and serving healthy meals and snacks
- Tracking participation, documenting progress, and completing incident reports as needed
- Building positive relationships with families, school staff, and community members
- Keeping the space clean, organized, and ready for fun
This is not a complete list of the responsibilities of this position. Duties may change at any time.
If you love high-fives, craft supplies, organized chaos, and helping kids grow into their best selves, this might just be your summer gig.
