Youth Development Professional - Burlington & Sedro-Woolley
About The Position
This is a part-time role where you get to show up for kids in real ways-creating a space where they feel safe, supported, and like they belong. Some days you'll be helping with homework. Other days you'll be leading activities, jumping into games, or helping a group reset and refocus. The real work is in the relationships-being consistent, paying attention, and making sure every kid knows someone is in their corner. We're looking for people who are dependable, positive, and comfortable working in an active, fast-moving environment. You don't need to have all the answers-we'll support you along the way-but you should be someone who can think on your feet, stay patient, and connect with youth in a meaningful way. This role requires meeting Washington State requirements for licensed childcare, including completing background checks, required training, and health documentation, such as a TB test and proof of MMR vaccination or immunity. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. Staff working with middle school youth must be at least 21 years old, and those working with high school youth must be at least 23 years old. At the end of the day, this job is about showing up, day after day, in ways that matter. The impact isn't always loud, but it's real. If you're ready to make a difference just by being there, apply today and join our team.
