Summary

Got game? Got heart? Got your afternoons free? As a Youth Development Professional at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas, your "office" is the games room, the art table, the gym floor and the great outdoors. Every weekday from 2–7 p.m., you'll lead members ages 6–18 through games, team-building challenges, arts and crafts, teen activities and special events. Along the way you'll be a mentor kids look up to and a steady, safe presence they can count on. You'll help them grow into confident, kind young people who make good choices. If you can get a room full of kids to stop and listen (and then have them laughing a minute later), you're who we're looking for.
