JA BizTown & JA Finance Park Coordinator
We are looking for a new member of our team that has a natural ability to problem-solve, lead, and works well within a team. You’ll work part-time in our experiential JA BizTown and JA Finance Park programs, guiding students through our experiential simulations where they spend a day-in-the-life running our student-sized town and economy. We’ll want you to think big, we’ll want you to think small, and sometimes we’ll just want you to do it. Some days are a breeze, some days a little harder; every day you and your teammates will be changing lives.
- Your attitude toward work, your co-workers and the people you come in contact with through our programs are first class. Even in the most trying of times, you maintain a positive attitude, and you don’t believe in impossible.
- Computer literacy is a MUST, you will be required to troubleshoot basic technology.
- MUST be comfortable speaking in front of small and large groups, with or without a microphone. Can you project your voice and take charge when needed?
- You are game to jump in and help whenever and however needed. When fires break out, everybody grabs a bucket, from the dogs (yes, we have dogs visiting our office!) to our President!
- Ability to perform and prioritize multi-level tasks in a fast-paced environment while dealing with constant interruptions from students and volunteers.
- You are willing to step up and lead when necessary. You can adapt, problem-solve and adjust.
- Coinciding with the school year and day, you’ll work 2-3 days/week (M-F; 7.5-hour shifts). Daily start times vary from 7:15 am to 10:15 am.
- Help to manage day-to-day operations of the program, including program paperwork and evaluations.
- Manage inventory responsibilities in JA BizTown or JA Finance Park, including restocking supplies which may require you to climb a ladder.
- Ability to work closely with children
- Team oriented. We all succeed together!
- Detail oriented, knowing that each part is important to the big picture/experience.
