difference every day after school? The YMCA is looking for a
dedicated, energetic, and caring individual to join our Kidstop

As a Kidstop Site Aide, you'll play an important role in creating a

You'll guide children through activities that foster teamwork,

encourages both social and physical development. Your presence in
the program will help build a strong bridge between the YMCA,

culture. Your role will also include ensuring accurate attendance,
maintaining a safe setting, and responding to incidents according
to established procedures. Planning and organization are key.
You'll be responsible for supporting weekly lesson plans, preparing
and leading activities, and helping maintain program supplies and
materials. Keeping the site clean, well-stocked, and engaging will
be part of your daily responsibilities. Just as important, you'll
be expected to follow all YMCA safety guidelines and adhere to
local and state regulations to ensure children are protected and
thriving. We're looking for someone who brings a spirit of
friendliness, reliability, and a genuine passion for working with
youth. If you're proactive, flexible, and ready to be a positive
role model, you'll be a great fit for our team. The ideal candidate
values connection, accountability, and teamwork, and is eager to
support a space where kids feel safe, included, and excited to
learn. If you're ready to contribute to a high-quality afterschool
experience that supports the development of young learners, we
invite you to apply today. Qualifications Must be at least 16 years
