• Manage Arrival & Dismissal: Organize the check-in and check-out process for participants, ensuring a smooth transition for kids and parents at both the beginning and end of each session. 

• Communicate with Parents: Be the primary point of contact for parents onsite, answering questions, providing updates, and ensuring they feel confident and well-informed about their child’s experience. 

• Handle Incidents: Quickly and effectively respond to any medical and behavioral incidents, reporting them immediately to the Director of Adaptive Programs. 

• At least 1 year of program management and staff management experience, ideally in adaptive, inclusive, or youth programming. 

• Experience in working with neurodivergent children, especially in providing behavioral support in a fun, active setting. 

• Excellent communication and organizational skills and can manage multiple responsibilities while ensuring the safety and success of the program. 

• Thrive in high-energy environments and can keep things running smoothly, even on busy days.
