Qualified candidates will be punctual, reliable, personable, and professional, with a willingness to support both administrative tasks and the broader after-school team when needed. The right candidate will enjoy working in a school setting and helping create an organized and supportive environment that allows the program and its staff to operate effectively.

This is a part-time, hourly position available during the school year from September through June, following the NYC DOE school calendar.
