Demonstrate an understanding of program requirements by ensuring materials are accurate, organized, and ready for successful implementation.
  • Provide on-site program support, including preparing activity areas, setting up supplies and equipment, welcoming participants and instructors, monitoring activities, and assisting with cleanup.
  • Draft program descriptions, flyers, newsletter content, email notices, and other outreach materials using established City standards and approval processes.
  • Maintain accurate registration, attendance, waitlist, volunteer, and program records and assist with routine reports and participation summaries.
  • Monitor program operations, participant needs, and safety conditions; address routine concerns and promptly refer sensitive or unresolved matters to supervisory staff.
  • Support volunteers by communicating assignments, providing task direction, and answering routine questions without exercising formal supervisory authority.
