BUILT FOR BRIGHT MINDS AND MESSY HANDS EDMO has run after-school and summer programs since 2004: hands-on STEAM, real friendships, and kids who leave more curious than they came. 200+ school district partners across Northern California, and voted Best of the Bay 15 years running.

What You'll Do

• Lead STEAM and SEL activities that get kids building, creating, and working through things together
• Be the steady one who manages the room with patience and redirects with care
• Show up for parents, friendly and quick to share how their kid's day went
• Keep things running: attendance, supplies, a safe and clean space
• Keep growing: bring ideas, show up to training with an open mind, take feedback well
• Plus whatever else the day needs. That's the job, and it's the fun part.

You would be a great fit if

• You've spent time with kids in any setting, a job, babysitting, tutoring, coaching, camp, or your own family, and you learned something from it
• You can hold a group's attention and gently bring them back when it wanders
• You're creative, patient, and positive, even on the sticky, chaotic days
• You know SEL and STEAM, or you're excited to learn
• When you say you'll be there, you're there

Missing something on this list? Apply anyway. We'd rather meet you than miss you over a line item.

What Applying Looks Like A short application, about 8 minutes; a few questions about your experience with kids in any form it's taken; and four (4) video questions you can answer on your own time, no scheduling required. We follow up either way.

• Instructional Assistant exam, or an AA, BA, or 48 college units (waives the exam)

Ready? Bring your curiosity, courage, and kindness. We'll bring the glue sticks.
