Site Coordinator III (Jamaica YMCA)

The YMCA of Greater New York is here for all New Yorkers — to empower youth, improve health, and strengthen community. Founded in 1852, today the Y serves a diverse population of more than half a million New Yorkers who learn, grow, and thrive through programs and services at our 24 branches. Community is the cornerstone of the Y. Together, we connect active, engaged New Yorkers to build stronger communities.

To help fulfill our mission, we cultivate a culture of learning, leading, and collaboration to enhance community impact. Through our talented staff and "LEAP" career framework (Leadership, Empowerment, Accountability, Personal Growth), we are committed to a people-first approach that fosters trust, inclusion, growth, and development for all.

The Jamaica YMCA is seeking a Site Coordinator. Under the supervision of the Site Director, the Site Coordinator will play a critical role in providing academic enhancement and enrichment in the Y Afterschool program, including Holiday Camps. The Site Coordinator will be responsible for providing a safe and positive environment for school-age children, providing opportunities for learning, interaction, and academic/personal growth. Specifically, the Site Coordinator will ensure the health, safety, and well-being of children in the program by providing close supervision of all activities and staff, managing the day-to-day operations of the Y Afterschool and Y Core programs, and maintaining accurate program documentation (incident reports, accident reports, behavior reports, attendance, sign-in/sign-out sheets, and licensing requirements).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure the health, safety, and well-being of children in the program by providing close supervision of all activities.
  • Manage the day-to-day operations of the Y Afterschool and Y Core programs.
  • Maintain accurate program documentation (participant files, staff files, YS.net data entry, incident reports, accident reports, behavior reports, attendance, sign-in/out sheets, and licensing requirements).
  • Plan, create, and ensure implementation of weekly lesson plans.
  • Observe and assess the individual needs of children and handle student-related issues.
  • Support parents/guardians in finding referrals to proper agencies for evaluations and remediation of children with special needs.
  • Monitor and update all required staff training attendance and certifications.
  • Ensure that supplies and equipment are available and kept safe.
  • Fiscal contract management.
  • Actively participate in all training sessions, designated meetings, and special events.
  • Promote an inclusive, welcoming, and respectful environment that embraces the diversity of all participants.
  • Create and maintain a strength-based, youth-focused atmosphere that is consistent and sensitive to the needs of participants with learning, emotional, or behavioral differences.
  • Serve as a positive role model for participants.
  • Understand and communicate the YMCA's core values and the goals of the Y Afterschool Program to participants and caregivers.
  • Develop and maintain positive relationships with parents and guardians through regular communication about their child's strengths and areas for growth.
  • Adhere to all Department of Health, YMCA of Greater New York, and funder standards, expectations, and regulations.

Desired Skills & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in a program area related to working with youth required.
  • Minimum of two (2) years of experience working with youth, adults, and families, preferably in a program setting.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • General knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
