As a Group Leader, you'll lead a group of elementary or middle school students through an afternoon filled with learning, creativity, movement, and connection. You'll facilitate engaging activities, support academic growth, encourage positive behavior, and build relationships that help students feel valued and confident. One afternoon might involve a science challenge, a basketball game, or a creative arts project. Another might be about helping a student overcome frustration, discover a new interest, or develop the confidence to speak up. Every afternoon brings a new opportunity to lead, inspire, and make a difference. We're looking for people who are ready to jump in, bring ideas, take initiative, and create an experience students look forward to.
