Healthy Kids Programs is hiring a Part-Time Site Director who is ready to step into a leadership role, make a daily impact on children’s lives, and enjoy a flexible schedule with a rare benefit of employer-paid childcare.

You will step into a leadership role where your work directly shapes a positive, structured, and engaging environment for children before and after school.

You will also benefit from a flexible split schedule that can support school, family responsibilities, or additional commitments.
