About The Position

The Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation (CDPF) operates Big Kahuna Swim Academy (BKSA) — a private nonprofit swim school with one mission: to eradicate childhood drowning, one child at a time. Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under 5. Every lesson we teach matters. Every child we reach is a potential life saved. Our niche is private, 1:1 swim lessons using our proven Learn To Swim curriculum, which focuses on the 8 Basic Water Safety Skills. We've delivered 25,000+ lessons across two locations in Norco and Riverside, CA — and we're growing. About 30% of our students have special needs, with a strong emphasis on autistic learners. Our 1:1 model is uniquely built to serve this population, and it's one of the things we're most proud of. We're not always hiring for one specific role. We're hiring for the right people. If you believe in the mission, show up for the people around you, and want to be part of building something that genuinely saves children's lives — we want to hear from you. Positions across the foundation include swim instructors, administrative support, program coordination, and more. Whatever the need, whatever the role, we're looking for people who are ready to roll up your sleeves and contribute. This is not a place for people looking for a job to pass the time. This is a place for people who want to be somewhere on purpose. Depending on the role you're matched with, you might: Deliver private 1:1 swim lessons using the BKSA Learn-to-Swim curriculum Support day-to-day operations and administrative functions Build and maintain relationships with students, families, and the broader community (expected) Assist with scheduling, communications, data entry, and program logistics Participate in team meetings, trainings, and embrace ongoing coaching and feedback (expected) Notice what needs doing — and step in without being asked (expected)
