Seasonal Program Facilitator - Northern KY
Description

 

Are you someone who loves working with kids and teens, enjoys meeting new people, and gets excited about creating fun, meaningful experiences? Do you thrive when you are out in the community rather than sitting behind a desk all day? Maybe you are creative, energetic, dependable, and comfortable leading activities, speaking to groups, or jumping in when plans change. You enjoy building relationships with families, schools, community partners, and volunteers, and you like knowing that the work you do can make a real difference in the lives of girls.


The Program Facilitator brings the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) to underserved and focus  communities throughout Northern Kentucky, with an emphasis on building meaningful relationships and  increasing access to Girl Scouting for girls in grades K–12. Using the mobile experience center (program  van), the Facilitator delivers engaging, hands-on programming through preplanned activities, community  partnerships, and innovative learning opportunities. This position helps girls develop leadership skills,  participate in meaningful experiences, and earn badges and patches while creating a safe, welcoming,  and inclusive environment. The Program Facilitator also builds positive relationships with girls, caregivers,  volunteers, and community partners, serves as an ambassador for Girl Scouts Wilderness Road Council,  and supports successful programming through effective planning, communication, documentation, and  exceptional customer service.  


 The Program Facilitator role involves fieldwork in prespecified counties (including, but not limited to:  Kenton, Boone, Campbell, Grant, Owen) with occasional time required on-site at the Erlanger office.  


You must have your own transportation for times when not using programming vans.  


 Salary: 15-17 an hour.
