Job description

Overview

Hamlin is seeking motivated people to support its Extended Day program! Great for High School students!

HUB is Hamlin’s afterschool care program. HUB stands for “Hang out, Unwind, Belong” – it’s also a fitting name because HUB is the center of activities in Hamlin's Extended Day Programs. Our Extended Day team works daily to make each student feel welcomed, nourished, and engaged during their time with us. We provide a mix of structured and unstructured activities, and students can choose to move between playing outside with their friends, getting their homework done, participating in an art activity, or relaxing with a book or a game. HUB sees anywhere from 60-100 students per day, and is usually busy, lively, and energetic! Ideal candidate has energy to match that of our students and programs.
