We are looking to hire coaches who are available to start training within the next 2-4 weeks so they can become familiar with our programs and ready to coach programs beginning in January. Please note all staff will be off 12/23-1/1 for our program holiday break.

This is a part time opportunity where coaches can expect to work anywhere from 3-15 hours a week, depending on their availability, the programs we have to offer, and their location.
