After-School Learning Program Assistant

and the job listing Expires on April 5, 2026

Our vision is to provide a nurturing environment where youth are excited to learn, explore their interests and have the opportunity to participate in out-of-school activities that help them make meaningful connections between their academic success and overall development. Our college interns will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our vision.

The College intern will be responsible for coordinating activities during and for the After school Program. The main objective of the program is to improve student’s math, reading and writing skills; however, students are also assisted in other subject areas. The college intern will also serve as a mentor to the youth in our program. We consider their role as mentors invaluable.

Most of our youth do not have parents or family members who are pursuing or have pursued higher education; our college intern may provide the needed spark to inspire them to want to aim for higher education.
