The Youth Engagement Specialist is responsible for supporting the Youth Engagement Coordinator during the year to provide school-age youth with a year-round after-school and summer program. The program aims to incorporate and boost social-emotional growth, a healthy sense of self and peers, youth leadership skills, and a passion for learning and discovery. We do this through academic assistance and enrichment, multi-themed project-based learning activities, and exploring STEM/Arts topics chosen by youth while maintaining a safe and respectful space for all cultures and backgrounds. We engage parents and families to provide a wraparound approach to work with youth. We also engage schools, community partners and volunteers to support youth and families.
The Youth Engagement Specialist, who reports to the Youth Engagement Manager, will outreach, plan and implement programming components to meet goals and objectives by ensuring meaningful program and space for school-age youth at each site. The in-person activities help youth connect to their school and communities. This is done in conjunction with the leadership of the Youth Engagement Coordinator and involves working independently and/or as a team as a planner and instructor and with other duties as assigned.
