Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary:

Lead Facilitator: Full-Time


Organization Overview
Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Our comprehensive approach to whole girl development equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers and grow up
healthy, educated, and independent. These positive outcomes are achieved through three core elements: people - trained staff and volunteers who build lasting, mentoring relationships;
environment - girls-only, physically and emotionally safe, where there is a sisterhood of support, high expectations, and mutual respect; and programming - research-based, hands on and minds-on, age-appropriate, meeting the needs of today’s girls. Informed by girls and their families, we also advocate for legislation and policies to increase opportunities for all
girls and address the systemic barriers that impede girls’ success, particularly girls in low income communities and girls of color.

Girls Inc. of Chicago has an exciting opportunity for a Full Time Lead Facilitator. The Instructional Facilitator is responsible for implementing and adapting a wide variety of enrichment activities for grades K-12th, year-round, during the school year and during out-of school time hours.
