Job description

Since 1944, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida has provided children and teens, ages 6 to 18, with a safe place to learn and grow during non-school hours. Today, more than 15,000 young people call our 39 Clubs across five Central Florida counties home. The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring adults. Every day after school and all summer long, our members walk through the blue doors at little or no cost to their families and find academic support, enrichment, and caring adult role models who believe in what they can become.

How we do it matters as much as what we do. Our Clubs deliver quality programming grounded in evidence across six core pillars of focus: education and career development; character and leadership development; sports, fitness, and recreation; health and life skills; the arts; and mental health. That work is reinforced by practices informed by trauma research, mental and emotional wellness support, and an unwavering commitment to safety. The results show up in graduation rates, college and vocational school enrollment, grades, and young people who tell us they feel emotionally safe at their Club. As part of the national Future Ready movement, we are growing bigger, better, and bolder, and we know none of it happens without exceptional people. That is why we invest in our team through comprehensive training, leader development, competitive compensation and benefits, and a workplace culture built on excellence, belonging, and accountability. If you want your work to change the trajectory of a child's life, there is a place for you here. Great futures start here, and they start with you.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Youth Development & Sports Coordinator is a dual-assignment, part-time position that supports the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida in two settings. During regular Club hours, the Coordinator serves as a Youth Development Specialist (YDS) at the assigned home Club, delivering an Outcome-Driven Club Experience across the Core Program Pillars, including Academic Success and Career Development, Character and Leadership Development, Health and Life Skills, the Arts, Sports, Fitness and Recreation, and Social-Emotional Well-Being. In this capacity, the Coordinator works directly with youth and takes daily direction from the Club Service Director.

When scheduled for BGCCF sports league practices and games, the Coordinator reports to the Director of Sports and Athletics and serves as the first point of contact for players, families, volunteers, and spectators. The Coordinator manages the league reception area, welcomes and checks in participants, sets up and breaks down practice and game spaces, and ensures that BGCCF safety and child-protection protocols are in place and followed throughout every league session. This includes escorting parents, family members, and volunteers to adult-designated restrooms and approved spectator areas so that youth-only spaces remain protected, and supporting the full range of day‑of‑league operations.

The Coordinator is self‑motivated, mature, energetic, and able to maintain clear and healthy boundaries with Club members, parents, staff, and volunteers. The Coordinator communicates with youth in an age‑appropriate, motivational, and positive manner, remains calm and solution‑focused in busy environments, and adapts readily to a schedule that alternates between Club programming and evening and weekend league events.
