• Students look forward to seeing you, participate actively in activities and tutoring, and show measurable improvement in behavior and focus.
• Parents, staff, and volunteers see you as a consistent, joyful, and dependable presence who communicates clearly and follows through on commitments.
• You confidently share the gospel with children, answer their questions with grace and truth, and help integrate biblical principles into daily program life.

What We're Looking For
