Youth Program Director, Part-Time, Congregational Church: Swampscott, MA

Navigating the years from tween, to teen, to adolescent, and then early adulthood, have never been easy. But of late, experts in education and pediatric health have raised the alarm about the impacts of our society on the wellbeing and development of the children in our lives today. A recent US Surgeon General’s Advisory spells out roles for community organizations to address this, including the formation of youth enrichment programs.

We are seeking a Youth Program Director to plan and execute activities that engage 6-12th graders from the surrounding community with fun, weekly programming that supports character development and public service.

This program will be a secular, fun environment that is welcoming to people of every faith background and of no faith, but grounded in a progressive Christian ethic of respect, inclusion, compassion, service, honesty, peace and justice.

The initial focus of this role will be designing and building youth programs for grades 6-8 and 9-12. The events should be fun, while helping develop character, inclusion, and service, and supporting the mental well-being of kids and families in our area. This is a part-time role, 16-20 hrs/week, expected to become permanent after an initial pilot phase. Once established the youth programs may be further expanded to include parent/family programs, youth music, etc. Budget is available for supplies and events.
Hourly rate will be competitive and commensurate with experience.

The following is modeled after a successful program currently running in another town, however, the Director is invited to be creative in co-designing and developing the program.
