The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Behind every Girl Scout and volunteer is a team of local staff ready to help them earn that next badge, embark on a camping adventure, or organize an impactful service project. We are Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey (GSNNJ) serving girls in grades K-12 in Bergen, Morris, Passaic, Sussex and northern Warren counties. We bring the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to 19,000 girls and 10,200 adult members.
We are looking for a Program Facilitator to help run our FIRST LEGO League. The Program Facilitator is responsible for planning, leading, and inspiring girls to explore STEM concepts through hands-on LEGO robotics activities. This role focuses on creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where girls can learn teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity while gaining confidence in science and technology. This includes working with a group of up to 24 girls in a safe and healthy environment at our Riverdale Service Center as well as other locations in New Jersey where competitions may be held.
Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesThe essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:
The focus of this position will be facilitating LEGO FIRST League programs. Additional per diem Program Facilitator opportunities may be available throughout the Council based on program needs, qualifications, and availability. These additional opportunities are completely optional and provide flexibility for individuals who may be interested in taking on additional per diem work. The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about working with children, enjoys facilitating engaging activities, and is comfortable representing the Council at programs and events. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for flexible, meaningful work with the potential to support a variety of programs across various departments. Per diem activities may take place at one of the camps, the Riverdale office, DreamLab (Paramus), or other off-site locations.
This is a per diem position and is not eligible for benefits besides the ones mandated by federal or state law.
While some people still think of us as just cookies, badges, campfires, and friendship bracelets, Girl Scouts are so much more. Girl Scouts are groundbreakers, big thinkers, and role models. Girl Scouts design robots, start garage bands, and improve their communities—and yes, they sell the best cookies on the planet.
When she's a Girl Scout, she’s also a G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™.
G: Go-getter – She’s bold, honest, and determined to succeed. Goal oriented and ambitious, she’s also a life-long learner who believes no challenge is too difficult!
I: Innovator – Thinking outside the box is her specialty, so she’s always looking for a creative way to take action. She definitely knows how to get things done.
R: Risk-taker – Courageous and strong, she’s keen to try new things and to embrace the unfamiliar. She’s ready to step up and break the mold if that’s what it takes.
L: Leader – She’s confident, responsible, and committed to changing the world for the better—and she’s happiest when others join her in taking the lead!
These are the traits that define girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. This is the Girl Scout DNA.
We're 2.6 million strong—1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. to change the world.
We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
