After School Group Leader

Turn School Afternoons Into Something Kids Can't Wait For

Some of the biggest moments in a child's day don't happen during class—they happen after the final bell.

At Kamaʻāina Kids, our After School Group Leaders create the kind of afternoons children remember. One day you might be leading an outdoor game, the next you're building a STEM challenge, helping with homework, creating art, or simply being the trusted adult who makes a child feel seen and encouraged.

If you're energetic, dependable, and love working with children, this is more than a part-time job—it's a chance to make a lasting impact every single day.
