Between the last school bell and dinnertime, kids do some of their most important learning. The project they choose to keep working on. The friend they finally figure out how to talk to. The math problem they crack because they finally had the time and space to sit with it. If that's the work you want to be part of — come join us.

Position:

Educator, BASEC @ Green Meadow and BASEC @

Fowler Location:

Floating between BASEC @ Green Meadow and BASEC @ Fowler (Maynard, MA)

Schedule:

Afterschool hours during the school year (details discussed at interview)

Wage Range:

$24-$27 / hour, based on experience and qualifications Reports to: BASEC Site Director About BASEC in Maynard BASEC — the Belmont After School Enrichment Collaborative — is a non-profit out-of-school time organization built on a simple idea: that the hours after school should support kids' cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development just as intentionally as the school day itself. Our Maynard sites — BASEC @ Green Meadow and BASEC @ Fowler — are where that vision meets practice for the families in this community.

Both sites have real culture:

routines that work, colleagues who love the craft, and families who trust us with their kids. What the Work Looks Like This is a floating role between our two Maynard sites. You'll get to know both teams, both spaces, and a broader slice of the families we serve — and you'll bring some helpful continuity across the program as a whole. On any given day, you'll show up in the afternoon and greet kids by name as they arrive. You'll lead an activity you designed — maybe a project, a game, a workshop that ties back to something they're doing in school. You'll sit next to a student who's stuck on homework and help her find her way in. You'll notice a friendship that's fraying and help two kids talk it through. You'll check in with a colleague during daily staff meeting to workshop how to meet a child where they're at. You'll leave knowing you were part of something real. Concretely, as an Educator at BASEC in Maynard, you will: Design and lead rich out-of-school time programming — the projects, workshops, and daily activities that make kids want to come back. Provide the core supports this age group needs: academic help when they need it, executive function coaching, and social-emotional learning built into the fabric of the day. Be a daily, trusted presence for students across both sites. Serve, alongside the Site Director, as a point of contact for parents about their child's skill-building and developmental growth through BASEC. Stay current by participating regularly in professional development on trends in the field. Contribute to the culture at both sites — the kind of place where kids thrive because the adults around them are steady, warm, and dialed in. Who We're Looking For The people who do this work well tend to share a few things in common. Energetic and compassionate — kids read this in about ten seconds. Patient, and grounded in the belief that every child can succeed. A collaborator who wants to create alongside colleagues, not in isolation. A growth mindset — genuinely open to feedback and eager to keep getting better. Organized enough to run your part of the program without dropping the details. Computer literate and comfortable in Google Suite. Some education background or experience in the out-of-school time field. At minimum, a high school diploma or GED; Bachelor's degree preferred. What We Offer Compensation and benefits are among the strongest you'll find in this field. This is intentional. We want the people doing this work to be able to build a life around it.
