Job Description:

Job Title: Educational Site Leader I

Job Status: Part-time, up to 20 hours per week

Program Summary: ACCESS recognizes the challenge that many students face in reaching proficiency levels in core subject areas (English and math); that is why the Out of School Time program can provide students with the foundational skills needed to succeed in school, post-secondary, and in the workforce. This year-round STEM-focused program (32 weeks in the school year; 6 weeks in the summer) reinforces academic skills focusing on reading and math, encourages critical thinking, helps students discover/build new interests, and promotes healthy living. Low student-to-staff ratios ensure personalized learning, and youth development activities address students' social emotional learning needs. Students receive a daily hot nutritious meal. Parents/caregivers are offered free literacy and parenting education classes.
