Traveling Youth Sports Program Assistant, Seasonal (Torrance Area) - YMCA of Metropolitan L.A.

Traveling Youth Sports Program Assistant! At the YMCA, we believe that youth sports are youth development. The YMCA is seeking a seasonal Traveling Youth Sports Program Assistant to support Ball Hockey development at our after school programs. This position is Monday-Friday, from 2:30pm-5:30pm, approximately 3 hours per day, 15 hours per week, which includes travel time and mileage reimbursement when traveling between schools. The Traveling Youth Sports Proram Assistant would be partnered with a Traveling Youth Sports Program Lead and together, assigned to ten (10) elementary schools within the same vicinity. Each day, the Traveling Youth Sports Program Assistant (you), along with a Traveling Youth Sports Lead, would visit two after school sites; one after school site from 3:00pm-3:45pm and the next after school site from 4:15pm-5:00pm. While at the schools, the traveling ball hockey team (you and the Program Lead) would provide a 45-minute sports session to after school participants in grades TK-5th, teaching them the game and fundamentals of ball hockey. This position would require you to have reliable personal transportation so that they are able to drive between the after school sites and transport light equipment, daily. The YMCA is looking for an individual who loves sports and who has the right attitude and temperament to work with children and youth. Although it would be nice, experience with the game of hockey is not required - the YMCA would provide training on how to play the sport. The ball hockey session with the after school students would be considered non-competitive enrichment, non-league play.

This position would be based in Torrance and would travel between schools within this area. Each day of the week would be two different schools, which will be close in proximity to one another.

This is a seasonal position, with the first session of Youth Ball Hockey from September to December and a second session of Youth Ball Hockey from January to May. This is the perfect position for someone who loves sports and wants to make a little extra cash. This program is school days only. The Traveling Youth Sports Lead would be off during all holidays and school breaks. If interested, optional hours during the school breaks are available at the YMCA day camp programs.

What we're looking for:

• Must be 18 years-old or older and a high school diploma or equivalent
• Passion for working with elementary-aged children in a recreational setting
• Experience playing, leading or coaching a team sport is preferred, but not required.
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to create a safe and welcoming environment for all
• Eagerness to contribute to a diverse and inclusive community
• This position requires the final candidate to successfully pass an E-Verify check. For more information about E-Verify, please visit https://www.e-verify.gov/employees/e-verify-overview

To ease the onboarding experience, hired candidates will be provided access to complete a mandatory TB Test clearance and Health Screening, at no cost, prior to their first scheduled shift. The YMCA also provides all new hires with access to paid CPR/First Aid certification training, at no cost, to be completed within 60 days of hire.
