Do you love making an impact in the lives of school-aged children? How about working in a high-energy environment, staying organized, and keeping things moving?
Do the hours of 3:00-7:00 M-Th and 2:00-6:30 on Fridays work for you?
Help lead our small, high-energy after-school program while creating a welcoming, organized experience for our martial arts families. You’ll work directly with kids, parents, and our team to help each day run smoothly and make families feel confident, cared for, and excited to be part of our academy!

This is a meaningful, active, hands-on leadership position for someone who enjoys working with children and families, can stay organized in a busy environment, and takes pride in making sure each day runs smoothly.
This is not a “sit behind a desk” job. You’ll be greeting families, supporting coaches, helping students, communicating with parents, giving tours, managing daily details, and making sure our program feels safe, positive, professional, and welcoming every single day.
