Engagement: Actively promote, stimulate, and maintain a high level of interest and participation among youth members.
Specialized Support: (If assigned to a specialty track like STEM) Identify youth interests, guide hands-on experiential learning, and help build 21st-century skills utilizing specialized tools or technology.

2. Youth Supervision & Safety

General Supervision: Assist the Program Coordinator in supervising all program spaces (classrooms, gym, computer labs, outdoor areas) to ensure general safety and discipline.
Guidance & Mentorship: Serve as a constructive role model, offering positive mentorship, coaching, and behavioral guidance to participants.
Compliance: Adhere strictly to the health, physical, and emotional safety guidelines outlined by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), CDC, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), and ULBGC.

Inventory Management: Organize, maintain, and safely store program supplies, technology, and recreation equipment.
Event Execution: Provide hands-on assistance in planning and executing special organizational events (e.g., Youth of the Month/Year awards, science fairs, sports leagues, and the annual Gala).
Area Maintenance: Ensure program areas are left clean, structured, and organized at the conclusion of each day.

Problem Solving: Sound decision-making skills; ability to troubleshoot minor behavior or activity issues and appropriately escalate major concerns to the Coordinator or Club Director.
