Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who can wear many hats — an instructor who can go from teaching tennis or lacrosse on the field to leading an engaging classroom activity with Little Medical School students.
You don't need to be an expert in every activity. We are looking for someone who is athletic, adaptable, enthusiastic about working with children, and willing to learn.
If you love sports, enjoy working with kids, and have a background in camps, coaching, teaching, or after-school programs, we'd love to hear from you!
