About The Position

This role plays two parts within the BGCNWS family. During the school day, this role will provide building maintenance needs and/or room management at our Woodlands Impact Center (officially opening in August 2026) while in the afternoon (after school hours and seasonal) supporting our Impact Crew as the Lawn Care Supervisor. Based on the candidates availability, we can adjust the schedule and responsibilities accordingly. Our ideal candidate will be available on a full-time basis starting in April 2026 to manage our Impact Crew activities from preparing the lawn equipment and transportation for the season, working with our Impact team to recruiting teens for the available Impact Crew roles, setting expectations with the teens with regard to their positions, and managing the community contacts/accounts for weekly service. Hours may vary based on the time of year, but with the August 2026 opening of the Woodlands Impact Center, this position will require additional needs. As the Impact Crew Lawn Care Supervisor, you’re not just overseeing our community lawn care program; it’s a chance to shape the next generation through work responsibilities, while giving back to the senior citizens and veterans of our community and keeping our community looking great.
