The posting

Inspire young minds. Support growing hearts. Make afternoons matter.

The Quincy Kroc Center is seeking energetic, caring individuals to serve as After School Counselors in our Kroc Academy program. This part-time role provides support during our after school program, helping create a safe, engaging environment where children can learn, play, and grow once the school day ends.

If you enjoy working with children and want to make a positive impact in your community, this is a wonderful opportunity to be a mentor, role model, and trusted adult for local youth.

Why This Role Matters

Kroc Academy supports children during a critical part of the day - after school - by providing structure, encouragement, and enrichment in a welcoming environment. As an After School Counselor, you help foster confidence, creativity, and positive social connections while supporting each child's academic and personal development. Your presence helps ensure every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged.

Position Details

Position Type: Part-time, working up to 19 hours/week

Program Hours: Monday-Friday | 2:00pm-6:00pm

Pay Rate: $15.00/hour

Additional Opportunities: Extra hours may be available during School's Out Day Camp and Summer Day Camp programs

Position Overview

After School Counselors serve as mentors and role models for students enrolled in Kroc Academy.

Optional Driving Responsibilities: Staff over 21 or older who meet eligibility requirements may assist with student transportation for school pick-ups. Counselors who take on driving duties receive an additional driver pay differential for time spent performing those responsibilities.

What We're Looking For

  • Must be 18 years of age or older to meet childcare licensing requirements
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Genuine interest in working with children and supporting their growth and development
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to connect with children, families, and coworkers
  • Patience, empathy, and flexibility in responding to varied learning and behavioral needs
  • Prior experience in childcare, tutoring, education, or youth programs is preferred but not required

  • Regular bending, reaching, sitting on the floor, and active participation in games and activities
  • Ability to lift and carry program supplies or equipment (up to 25lbs)
  • Work performed in an after-school youth program environment and moderate noise and activity levels

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
