YMCA Preschool Teacher

A Youth Worker is responsible for the care of children in the Before & After School, Camp, Preschool, and/or Play & Learn programs.

Youth Workers assists in the implementation of programming and interacts positively with parents, other staff, and school personnel to develop a trusting relationship. A Youth Worker fosters social, physical, spiritual, and mental growth and demonstrates the core values of caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect with program participants. Under the guidance of a Site Director or Team Lead, Youth Workers are responsible for directly supervising a group of 6-12 children while engaging with them in a variety of high-energy activities throughout the day.

This isn’t just a job, it’s making an impact. Join us as we create lifelong memories with kids and help them develop educational and social skills as they grow. Each day consists of building relationships within small groups, helping children achieve weekly goals, working to create an inclusive environment, and having a lot of fun in the process!
