  • Creative arts (visual art, digital creativity, music activities, performance-based projects)
  • Academic enrichment (homework support, study skills, literacy/math games)
  • Social-emotional learning routines (communication, self-management, goal-setting, reflection)
  • Leadership and workplace readiness habits (responsibility, persistence, respectful discussion)
  • Project-based learning and student showcases
  • Classroom routines, expectations, and positive community-building

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a 10-session after-school enrichment course with clear objectives and engaging instruction
  • Establish consistent routines, transitions, and expectations aligned to site policies
  • Facilitate hands-on activities that promote participation, collaboration, and skill growth
  • Differentiate instruction to support varying readiness levels and learning needs
  • Maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment
  • Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
  • Adapt pacing and activities as needed while maintaining the intended outcomes of the program

Qualifications (Required)

  • Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
  • Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, camp, after-school, tutoring, youth programs)
  • Strong facilitation skills, classroom presence, and clear communication
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
  • Ability to lead engaging activities with appropriate structure and positive behavior supports
  • Comfort implementing lesson plans and providing clear documentation of session completion, as required
