After School Group Leader
Help Make After School the Best Part of Their Day
School may be out, but there’s still plenty of learning, exploring, and fun ahead.
As an After School Group Leader with Kamaʻāina Kids, you’ll spend your afternoons creating a place where elementary-age keiki feel safe, included, and excited to be there. You’ll lead games, plan activities, help with homework, and build the kind of relationships that can make a real difference in a child’s day.
If you’re energetic, dependable, and enjoy working with kids, we’d love to meet you.
