Are you a natural leader with a passion for youth development? The YMCA of the Black Hills in Custer, SD is seeking a dedicated and experienced educator to join our team as a Kidstop Site Coordinator for the 2026-2027 school year. This role is essential in delivering a high-quality afterschool experience for local children-and offers the chance to make a lasting impact every day.
As a Site Coordinator, you will oversee the daily operations of one of our Kidstop sites, creating a welcoming and enriching environment where elementary and middle school students can learn, grow, and thrive. Through hands-on leadership and thoughtful program delivery, you'll help kids build soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, all while ensuring their emotional and physical safety.
You'll lead with purpose, implementing age-appropriate curriculum and helping shape a space that supports both structure and fun. As the key on-site leader, you'll conduct regular evaluations of staff performance, offer constructive feedback, and foster a culture of recognition and growth. Your ability to mentor your team and create a cohesive, motivated staff environment will be critical to the program's success.
Strong collaboration with school personnel is a central part of the role. You'll build and maintain positive relationships with principals, teachers, and administrative staff to ensure alignment between the Kidstop program and the educational goals of each school community.
Communication with families is just as important. You'll keep parents informed about their child's experience and progress, while cultivating a welcoming, trustworthy connection with them. You'll also manage lesson plans, maintain safety protocols, oversee equipment and supplies, and ensure accurate record-keeping for attendance, incidents, and program reports.
This role requires someone proactive, organized, and people-centered-able to manage the needs of children, staff, and families with professionalism and care. You'll attend and contribute to regular meetings with other Site Coordinators and the Youth Development team to stay aligned and share best practices.
The ideal candidate will have teaching experience or a strong background in youth programming, along with leadership capabilities and a genuine passion for child development. If you're ready to lead with integrity, inspire others, and bring energy and structure to every afternoon, we want to hear from you.
