4-H Before & After School Program Employment

Love working with kids? Looking for flexible, part time hours and a competitive wage? Working with our 4-H Before & After School program might be what you are looking for! 

Worried about having to teach topics you don't know much about? Push those worries aside! Our educators teach from a scheduled lesson plan using 4-H curriculum. These 4-H lesson plans provide extremely clear instructions on how to engage with students for the topic being taught, and the 4-H curriculum utilizes hands-on, experiential learning so kids can "learn while doing". Additionally, our educator teams and site directors work as a team to help each other out should any questions arise. Many of our educators have never formally taught any type of lesson prior to working with us and are very successful in their roles as they provide these learning opportunities to the students in our program.
