- work with 25 teenagers, 12-15 years old
- support Teen Programming Director
- act as a role model for lower-income youth

- The summer camp is highly structured. We go on field trips almost daily, utilizing public transportation. Field trips include visiting various neighborhoods around the city, going to the movies, Taste of Chicago, volunteering at the Great Chicago Food Depository, the beach, water park, and possibly horse back riding.
- There will be two staff members working with the youth (you and the director). There will be times when you are expected to manage the group on your own within our community center.
- some experience working with teenagers
- strong personality! I need someone who can be as loud as the teens and who will command respect.
- ability to be constantly active. We do a lot of walking (rain or shine) to our destinations, and we play sports (the boys are especially into basketball).
- ability to be outside in the sun and heat for extended periods of time
- feels comfortable being in the water (you don't need to be an excellent swimmer)
- fun, outgoing, interested in establishing a mentor-type relationship with youth
- take initiative (if we have some down time you would be able to organize an activity)

class)
