About YWCA Greater Newburyport:

As one of the oldest non-profit community organizations in the area, the YWCA Greater Newburyport has been providing safe, affordable and supportive childcare and youth development, housing and wellness opportunities.

About the role:

Do you have proven experience working in a fast-paced childcare environment focused on developing youth and fostering strong relationships? Are you excited to build relationships with the community and leverage them to improve program quality and enhance team resources? If you have experience in licensed childcare and a passion for the power of quality childcare in the lives of children, families and community, this may be the job for you!

As the School-aged Youth Coordinator you will get to flex a lot of career skills and bring your passion with you each day. From the administration of a large group after-school program and our popular summer adventure camp, to developing youth opportunities that serve the mission of the YWCA and the greater community, you will get to do it all. You will nurture school-aged children and grow a team of youth professional to help bring your vision to life.

The person in this role will continue to enhance the quality of our programs and will leverage existing collaborations and form new ones with people and organizations in our community. For example, in 2022 we worked with Project Adventure to develop a social emotional learning curriculum to train our team. In this capacity, the Coordinator will continue to seek similar opportunities.

To thrive in this role, you will need to have proven leadership skills. You will need to be a natural connector and be able to build authentic and professional relationships with parents and community members to ensure clear communication and leverage resources. You will need a strong passion for supporting youth and the desire to see each child and staff member succeed. You will need a strong understanding of classroom management techniques, an inclusive and flexible approach to education, and the ability to coach, model, and mentor.
