WARD 8 JOB ALERT | Part-Time Youth Program Assistant - $18 to $20/hour
Horton’s Kids is a community-based organization working to drive positive change in the lives of 500 children in grades K – 12 living in two of the most under-resourced communities in southeast Washington, DC.

However, decades of disinvestment and systemic racism have created unfair barriers to access for these families.

Youth Program Assistants must make a year-long commitment for the 2022-2023 school year, with availability to work Monday through Thursday 330pm-730pm. The program year runs from September 12th through May 30th.
The ideal candidate is flexible and collaborative, with excellent relationship building, behavior management, and communication skills. The starting rate of pay for the YPA position is $18-$20 per hour.
