A little about WINGS

Wings for Kids (WINGS) believes in a world where there is equity in academics, opportunity, and emotional well-being for all children, regardless of socioeconomic status. For more than 25 years, WINGS has been equipping kids with the life skills to succeed in school, stay in school, and thrive in life through high-quality, top-notch afterschool programming. We're one-of-a-kind and those who work well at WINGS are one-of-a-kind, too.

A lot about your new job

Elementary school students need a place to just be kids, reconnect with their peers, and better understand themselves and their emotions. You and your team will create an environment that's welcoming, safe, supportive, and engaging.
Kids really look up to their mentors. Your commitment to show up every day matters - and the kids you work with will be bonded to you and your co-workers.
Kids deserve the opportunity to explore, grow, and believe in themselves - especially after the last two years. You'll have the chance to grow your emotional intelligence (we will help) so you can show kids how to explore, get curious, grow, and believe in themselves - like you do!
Just by being yourself, you'll be teaching an intentional social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum during activities, discussions, games, and homework help
