Responsibilities and Expectations of Summer Enrichment Coordinators:

  • Your Impact:
    • You and your team will plan and implement eight (8) weeks of fun, memorable, enriching summer daytime activities using our summer learning objectives for youth living in low income housing.
      • The activities you hold will happen in many locations: on-site (in communities where youth live), off-site (local parks, libraries, etc.), and more extensive field trips.
      • Our summer curriculum will guide you to plan activities based on four main objectives: Healthy Minds/Healthy Bodies, Problem Solvers, Artists and Creators, and Motivated Readers.
      • You will get to know each individual youth who participates in your day camp group, and incorporate their interests and ideas into your daily activities.
    • You will work with your team to plan and lead field trips out of the community on a regular basis, at least once weekly.
  • Teamwork and Communication:
    • This role involves high levels of teamwork, creativity, and interpersonal communication.
    • You will be expected to communicate regularly with your co-service members, your supervisor, caregivers of youth in the program, and community members.
    • You may also engage with organizations who provide lunch and offer other necessary or desired resources to your service site.
  • Approach to Service:
    • You will strive to provide a physically, emotionally, and mentally safe and inclusive environment for youth and your team.
    • While using the summer objectives to guide you, we encourage you to put an emphasis on the interests of the youth being served, play, social-emotional learning, and summertime joy. We also encourage you to incorporate your own passions and skills into the activities being offered.
  • You will likely engage with and support our survey staff throughout the summer, who are surveying youth as a part of our annual internal evaluations.
  • Professional Development:
    • You will receive two weeks of orientation to allow you to build your understanding of our organization, our local communities, and the skills necessary to be successful in the role.
    • You will develop skills in youth engagement, positive behavior management, adaptability, problem solving, and community outreach.
