The Floating School-Age Educator (Temporary November 1 2025 – August 28 2026) reports to the Assistant Director of School Age Programs. The role implements programs and provides direct service to children across Erie House’s three comprehensive School Age Program locations. It works 5 hours a day during school days and 8 hours a day during summer/school vacation/holidays, contingent upon funding supporting whichever location has the greatest need. This part‑time school year/full‑time summer position is in partnership with the Expanded Learning Programs department, directly impacting our student population of primarily Latinx and immigrant families.
