After-School Counselor
Bigfork Youth Center | Bigfork, MT
Part-Time | Monday–Thursday | Approximately 2:00–6:00 PM, some meetings on Fridays
Bigfork Youth Center is looking for energetic, dependable, and caring After-School Counselors to join our team!
Our after-school program gives local K–8 students a safe, fun, and welcoming place to spend their afternoons. Counselors spend their time playing with kids, leading activities, helping with homework, getting outside, serving meals, and creating the kind of environment where kids feel like they belong.
This is a great position for someone who enjoys working with children and wants a part-time job that is active, meaningful, and genuinely fun.
What You'll Do
- Supervise and engage with children during the after-school program
- Lead games, crafts, STEM projects, sports, outdoor activities, and other enrichment
- Encourage kids to participate, make friends, try new things, and have fun
- Help students with homework and educational activities when needed
- Assist with meal service and cleanup
- Maintain a safe, positive, and mostly screen-free environment
- Help manage behavior using patience, consistency, and positive guidance
- Communicate and work as part of a team
- Help with daily setup, cleanup, and program responsibilities
- Be a positive role model for the kids in our community
We're Looking for Someone Who Is
- Dependable and shows up ready to work
- Patient, positive, and comfortable working with groups of children
- Energetic and willing to actively participate with kids
- Able to take initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do
- Comfortable being outdoors and on their feet
- Able to communicate professionally with coworkers, children, and families
- Willing to help wherever needed
- Interested in making a real difference for local kids
Experience working with children is helpful, but we are also happy to train the right person.
This position follows the Bigfork school calendar and is a great fit for college students, education majors, retirees, parents, or anyone looking for meaningful part-time afternoon work.
Why Work at Bigfork Youth Center?
You'll get paid to play games, create things, spend time outside, help kids learn, and become an important part of their day.
More importantly, you'll be part of a program that provides donation-based after-school care, nutritious meals, enriching activities, and a safe place to belong for Bigfork kids.
If you're dependable, enjoy kids, and aren't afraid to jump into a game, get messy with an art project, or spend an afternoon outside, we'd love to meet you.
