  • Ability to work with a high-performing, mission-driven staff
  • Energetic, motivated self-starter and a team player
What You'll Do
  • Ensure that the overall program operation is smooth and efficient
  • Create and monitor the use of documents meant to track the academic and social progress of every child in the program
  • Maintain the goal of the number of participants at all times; conducting outreach if the program falls below this goal
  • Create and maintain a working collaboration with the other coordinators at the program
  • Assist in the development of lesson plans, curriculum, and activities that are grade-appropriate for students when homework is not provided
  • Identify students who should be on academic alert and provide adequate services to assist them
  • Research events and opportunities designed to enhance the program experience of the students
  • Restructure the program, as necessary, to introduce more activities and events - academic and social - to reward students for positive involvement in the program
  • Design and implement creative programming that speaks to the needs of the participants in the program
  • Track and achieve the goals set for the program
  • Provide leadership development, professional development, and staff training as needed
  • Facilitate and host staff, parent, and student meetings
