Group Leader: 2024-2025

About the Opportunity

We believe that great educational professionals make a difference for our scholars; without this, a school or program cannot succeed.

The Group Leader plays an integral role in the program's success by fostering a welcoming and engaging community through effective classroom management, social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies, and team-building activities.

This is to ensure we provide a well-rounded experience for all participants.

We are a K-8 program, and while we will consider your preferences for placements, our Group Leaders need to be willing and happy to work with any age range.

They will ensure that all students engage in a meaningful and impactful way throughout the school year, working on weekly challenges with their assigned group, and assisting the various Activity Specialists throughout the week.

Ultimately, as a Group Leader, you play a critical role in ensuring our scholars grow and have a positive learning experience.
