Summer Prog Security Guard

For over 22 years, the Pasadena Educational Foundation’s Summer Enrichment Program has offered educational opportunities that are fun & creative, build critical thinking skills, and promote personal growth for students. We are looking for dedicated individuals who have a passion for working in a school environment.

Every staff person plays a critical role in the program by providing a safe, fun, engaging, and high‑quality experience for our students. Interested applicants should value the role of education in a young person’s life, and have strong interpersonal skills with both youth and adults.

Security Guards will report to the Site Coordinator(s) on the campus they are assigned to. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: patrolling buildings and grounds, observing and intervening in the behavior of students and non‑students, and taking action to support program rules and expectations.

Qualified candidates should have a high school diploma or equivalent, demonstrated experience working with youth, and at least one (1) year of full‑time paid or volunteer security experience.

• Both current PUSD and non‑PUSD employees are welcome to apply.
• Prior employment by PEF does not guarantee a position for the 2026 summer program.
• The time commitment of a security guard is approximately 5 hours in the morning. All shifts are Monday through Thursday, June 15 through July 16, 2026 (exact dates and times TBD).
• Hiring preference will be given to those who can commit to working every day of the program.
• While we try to match candidates to their preferred campus and/or area of interest, we reserve the right to place as needed.
• Employment is dependent upon verification and timely completion, before the program starts, of all mandated payroll tax (W‑4, DE4) and employment eligibility (I‑9) forms, and a background check.
• This is a temporary, part‑time position that does not include paid time off or any benefits.

All applicants will receive a response by the end of March 2026. Interviews will be conducted online via Google Meet or Zoom. Not everyone who applies will be interviewed.
