Job Description

The Site Director is responsible for implementing and adapting the Enhanced Health and Wellness: Life Skills Enrichment (LSE) and Career Readiness Enrichment (CRE) for middle school girls in our after school programming. Lead Facilitators will be responsible for developing and leading LSE and CRE instruction using the available support and resources provided by Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, as well as assisting and supervising girls during other enrichment activities.

LSE will be “hands-on, minds-on” to engage girls in life skills training. Activities and discussions are designed to increase knowledge, strengthen self-confidence, cultivate communication and foster trusting, productive relationships among students and between students and staff.

CRE activities will help girls determine what careers are available, what their interests are, and what skills they have or need to develop. This may involve assessment and career counseling, creating individual learning plans, and soft and technical skill development, with the goal of empowering girls to access and explore careers that are stimulating and rewarding to them.
