In this role, you'll represent Westcott Community Center throughout the community while also providing hands‑on support to our after‑school programming. No two days will be exactly the same - you might be connecting with families at a community event, representing the Center at a school or partner activity, supporting students and staff in an after‑school program, or helping track the impact of our work.

• Complete required training to effectively support programming within school settings.
• Assist with data collection and tracking to meet program and funding requirements.
• Pitch in with general Center activities and operations as needed.
• Take on other responsibilities that support the mission and work of Westcott Community Center.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who:

• Enjoys meeting new people and building meaningful relationships.
• Takes initiative and can work independently while being a strong team player.
• Is organized, dependable, and able to manage their time and schedule effectively.
• Communicates well with a wide variety of people, both verbally and in writing.
• Has experience working with diverse populations and demonstrates cultural awareness and respect.
• Is comfortable using Microsoft Office, internet‑based programs, and data tracking systems.
• Is flexible and willing to occasionally work evenings or weekends for outreach and community events.

Qualifications:

• Associate degree from a two-year college or technical school, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience working with children, schools, families, community outreach, or nonprofit programs is a plus.
• Valid driver's license and access to a reliable personal vehicle.
• NYS Fingerprint Certificate.
• Ability to successfully pass required background checks through the NYS Education Department and SAAC requirements.

Position Details:

• Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 9:00am – 4:30pm with evening and weekend flexibility.
• Hours: 30 hours per week, nonexempt.
• Pay: $25 per hour.
• Benefits: Paid time off, paid holidays, health, dental and vision insurance.
