Who We’re Looking For:
We’re looking for Program Assistants who thrive in a collaborative environment and love engaging with people of all ages. The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with visitors, staff, volunteers, and community partners. Strong communication—both written and verbal—along with active listening skills, attention to detail, and accuracy are essential.
You should be a problem-solver who can assess situations, gather information, and make thoughtful decisions. A solid understanding of clerical and administrative tasks, including proficiency with Microsoft Office and scheduling or registration software, will help you stay organized. Since this role involves hands-on program support, you must be comfortable lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds. A valid driver’s license is also required.
Experience in education, nonprofit work, customer service, or a related field is preferred. A background in art, environmental education, or hands-on learning experiences is a plus!
Hours & Pay: This part-time role offers up to 24 hours per week, with a schedule that includes some Saturdays and occasional evenings as needed. You’ll always have your schedule at least two weeks in advance, so you can plan ahead. Starting pay is $14.00 per hour
