Job description

The Summer Youth Program Educator is a seasonal member of BOLT’s program team, responsible for delivering powerful, consistent programming to high school youth during our summer leadership programs.

You’ll help bring our curriculum to life during an intensive summer program that builds confidence, leadership, and community action skills for Philadelphia youth.

  • Strong Leadership Skills : You lead with humility and presence. You coach youth and peers alike to grow in confidence, skill, and self-awareness.
  • Takes Initiative : You bring ideas forward, act on them, and follow through. You’re energized by figuring things out and improving how we serve youth.
