    Job description

    Imagine ending each workday knowing you made a difference.

    At the Summit Area YMCA, we believe afterschool time should be more than just care—it should be an opportunity for kids to learn, explore, and thrive. We’re looking for a passionate, organized, and energetic Afterschool Site Coordinator to lead engaging programs and ensure a safe, fun, and inclusive environment for every child in our care during the 2026-27 school year.

    This position is based off-site at a local elementary school and is responsible for managing the afterschool program at that specific school location.

    You May Be the Right Person If You:

    • Love working with children and bring positive energy to every interaction.
    • Are an excellent communicator who builds strong connections with families, staff, and kids.
    • Thrive on being organized, flexible, and able to juggle multiple responsibilities.
    • Stay calm under pressure and handle unexpected situations with confidence and care.
    • Have a creative spirit and enjoy planning engaging, fun activities.
    • Believe in making every child feel seen, valued, and safe.
    • Are a team player who leads by example and supports those around you.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Serve as the lead staff member responsible for your assigned school site.
    • Be the primary point of contact for parents, building strong relationships and trust.
    • Lead a dynamic afterschool program that blends fun, learning, and enrichment for school-age children.
    • Plan and implement creative, thematic activities that inspire curiosity and growth.
    • Manage and maintain licensing documentation and children’s records for your site.
    • Supervise and mentor afterschool staff, ensuring they understand and deliver quality program standards.
    • Maintain accurate records including attendance, inventories, and incident reports.
    • Ensure a safe, clean, and organized environment for children and staff.
    • Communicate regularly with the Afterschool Director about program updates, challenges, and successes.
    • Act as an ambassador for the YMCA’s mission of Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.

    Salary & Benefits:

    The pay rate for this position ranges from $19.20- $ 24.50 per hour. This position is part-time, scheduled to work Monday-Friday, 2:30pm - 6:00 pm. Position runs on the local school calendar, but staff are also expected to work holiday care during school vacations.

    The Summit Area YMCA offers generous employee benefits. Part-time benefits include a free YMCA membership, discounts on Y family membership, and a 12% contribution to the YMCA retirement plan upon eligibility.

    At the Summit Area YMCA, we are committed to equal opportunity employment regardless of gender, age, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. Our main purpose is to strengthen community. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone can reach their full potential, and we strive to live our cause with purpose every day. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we believe that we’re stronger when we come together.
