After School Program Manager
Make a difference for Hawaiʻi’s keiki—while building a career you’ll love. Join our ʻohana at Kamaʻāina Kids!
Lead a Program. Build a Team. Make a Difference Every Day.
Looking for a leadership role that’s actually fun?
At Kamaʻāina Kids, our After School Program Managers (Site Coordinators) do more than supervise—they lead, mentor, and create a positive, engaging space where keiki can learn, play, and thrive after school.
If you enjoy working with kids, guiding a team, and bringing energy and ideas to life—we’d love to meet you!

Not Quite Ready to Lead? We’ve Got You Covered.
If you love working with kids but aren’t quite ready to lead a full program yet, that’s okay!
