Position Overview Liberation Academy (https://www.liberationacademy.org/ ) seeks a highly organized, energetic, and systems-oriented Before & Aftercare Youth Facilitator to lead our extended day programs for middle school-aged solutionists . Middle school is a unique developmental window. Our program departs from traditional "babysitting" to offer a highly structured, productive environment. In this role, you will maintain consistent routines, assist solutionists with academic homework, facilitate engaging, structured recreational activities, and ensure a safe, positive environment that aligns with our campus-wide operational standards. Key Responsibilities 1.
Structured Academic & Activity Leadership Homework Assistance:
Establish and maintain a quiet, focused "study hall" environment. Provide active academic support, guiding solutionists through homework challenges without doing the work for them.
Structured Activities:
Plan and lead structured physical, creative, or team-building activities designed specifically for middle school interests. Prevent "dead time" or unstructured hanging out.
Behavior Management:
Employ positive behavior intervention strategies to maintain order, respect, and focus, keeping in line with school-wide expectations. 2. Operational & Systems Compliance Adherence to
Playbooks:
Follow strict daily check-in, attendance, and dismissal procedures (including utilizing required digital applications like ParentSquare and dismissal software).
Safety & Security Standards:
Ensure all security policies are actively met (doors locked, visitor policies enforced, constant visual supervision of all solutionists).
Emergency Protocols:
Be fully prepared to execute safety protocols (Lockdown, Evacuation, Shelter-in-Place) immediately and confidently, carrying the designated emergency folder and orange medical bag when necessary.
Space Maintenance:
Ensure the cafeteria, gym, or classrooms utilized during care are left completely clean, with furniture reset, technology securely stored, and trash managed according to standard end-of-day protocols.
Role Requirements & Qualifications Must-Have Qualifications:
Middle School Experience:
Minimum of two (2) years of direct experience working with middle school-aged youth (grades 5-8) in a school, camp, after-school, or recreational setting.
Systems-Oriented Mindset:
Strong comfort level following strict organizational checklists, guidelines, and digital operational platforms.
Reliability & Punctuality:
A stellar track record of punctuality. With before care beginning promptly at 6:00 AM, arriving on time is a non-negotiable safety requirement.
Clear Communication:
Ability to communicate professionally and warmly with parents, school administrators, and team members.
Physical & Environmental Demands:
Ability to actively roam, supervise, and engage in recreational activities alongside solutionists. Pass a comprehensive criminal background check and fingerprinting clearance. First Aid/CPR Certification (or willingness to obtain certification within the first 30 days of hire).
