Job Description

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.

Work That Fits Into Your Life

Looking for meaningful part-time work that still leaves your evenings and weekends free?

• Plan arts, crafts, STEM, and other enrichment activities
• Support children with homework and schoolwork
• Encourage teamwork, confidence, and positive behavior
• Build positive relationships with keiki and their families
