- Junior Youth of the Year
You'll help young people develop confidence, leadership skills, public speaking abilities, and a stronger belief in what they can accomplish.

You'll:

Lead a Great Team
You'll also have an opportunity to grow as a leader.
You'll recruit, train, coach, and support teen program staff and volunteers while creating a team culture that is positive, professional, dependable, and focused on kids.
You'll help your team understand an important principle:
Every young person who walks through our doors should feel welcomed, valued, safe, and excited to be here.
Keep the Program Strong
Great programs need great organization behind the scenes, too.
You'll help:
- Track attendance, membership, and program participation.
- Coordinate grant-funded programs and required outcomes.
- Monitor program expenses and budgets.
- Maintain organized, safe, welcoming program spaces.
- Evaluate programs and look for ways to make them even better.

- Strong communication, organization, and group leadership skills.
- Ability to successfully complete required background check and drug screening.
- Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and ability to meet Club driving requirements.
