We run an after-school program for 120 pretty cool children, preK3 to 5th grade, at Miner Elementary School in northeast DC (map). The goal of our program is to help children learn about, love and respect animals. You'll help our awesome After School Director run the program, Monday to Friday, five hours a day, from 1 to 6 pm. You will be the primary caretaker for our guinea pig, gerbil and tortoises--and help the children interact with these animals in a positive, gentle and respectful way; order classroom supplies; prepare classroom materials; write and publish a monthly newsletter for parents; enter attendance records into the computer; interact kindly with parents when they pick up their kids; and substitute for teachers and aides in the classroom. You need to love animals, love children, have a caring and compassionate spirit, be organized, write clearly, take decent photos and be comfortable with Microsoft Windows, Excel and Word. Ideally, you'll be familiar with Adobe publisher, but we can teach you what you don't know. Experience in a school or classroom would be great. If this sounds like you, please reach out! We also have open positions for classroom aides (3:30 to 6:30 pm, Mon-Fri, $15 per hour), if you'd rather just be with the kids. Thanks for your interest and good luck with you job search!
