Are you energetic, skilled, great with kids, and fun?!  We want to speak with you! We are in the process of building the Trailside Afterschool founding team. We are looking for team members who understand how to add value to an after school program and serve as a positive role model for all the kids involved.

The leader creates a supportive environment where students can practice real-world skills, make thoughtful decisions, and grow both personally and socially.

The STEM Activities Leader plans and facilitates engaging, hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for students. This role involves designing age-appropriate activities, guiding participants through projects, and fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The STEM Activities Leader ensures a safe and inclusive environment while encouraging collaboration and critical thinking. Strong communication skills, organizational ability, and a passion for STEM education are essential.

The Health and Elementary Fitness Activities Leader designs and leads age-appropriate physical activities that promote health, coordination, and overall well-being in young students. This role includes organizing games, teaching basic fitness concepts, and encouraging positive habits such as teamwork, safety, and active lifestyles.

The Art and Creative Activities Leader plans and facilitates engaging, hands-on projects that encourage creativity, self-expression, and artistic skill development in students.
