Now hiring: Job Coach — New City Kids, Grand Rapids, MI

- Work in a highly creative, music-filled environment where bass lines, drum fills, and kids’ voices fill the building.
- Join a global team reaching youth across 14 sites in 8 countries

- Comfortable building trust with teens from diverse and complex backgrounds.
- Strong relational instincts paired with the discipline to follow through on the admin side.
