Why Your Role Matters

This is a seasonal, part-time position that follows the academic school year, beginning in August and continuing through May/June. The Site Lead serves as the on-site supervisor and accountable leader for the program. This role is the designated Licensed Site Director under Texas Child Care Regulation and is responsible for ensuring the site operates in full compliance with applicable minimum standards. The Site Lead provides direct supervision of site staff, oversees daily operations, and ensures the safety, quality, and consistency of the program.

Each day, you bring the YMCA mission to life by creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

This is a part-time role primarily scheduled during weekday afternoons, based on site at elementary schools across Austin and surrounding communities, with occasional evenings and weekends for trainings and events.
