About New York Junior Tennis & Learning

New York Junior Tennis and Learning (NYJTL) is one of the largest afterschool tennis and education-themed community organizations in the United States. We offer comprehensive school and community-based programs throughout New York City’s five boroughs, serving more than 85,000 youth ages 5-18 every year.


The NYJTL afterschool program provides children with safe and nurturing environments in which they can learn and thrive academically, while receiving critical support to reach their potential both on and off the tennis court. The NYJTL afterschool program operates in elementary, middle and high schools located in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. NYJTL is seeking bright, dedicated individuals who have a strong interest in working with after-school programs.

Position Summary

Part-time work, lifelong impact


Group Leaders have a positive impact on every child and the NYJTL program overall by keeping students engaged, empowered and safe. They represent the core of our team, supporting and mentoring children on a daily basis while developing their own skills and experience in youth development.


Group Leaders manage up to 30 children in and out of the classroom, partnering with Activity Specialists to deliver pre-designed curricula across a variety of categories. Some of the activities are tennis-related and many are not – no tennis experience required, but certainly welcome


Ideal candidates will be highly motivated, organized, and able to manage large groups of children. They should have knowledge of after-school programs, the mandates of the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOH). While Group Leaders are responsible for 30 children, they will be part of a program impacting 150 enrolled students each day.

Core Responsibilities

  • Assist students individually and in small groups with lesson assignments to reinforce learning concepts and help students reach their full potential. Assignments can include: reading, language and spelling skills, working with colors and number charts, checking homework and other subjects.

  • Attend and supervise children during special projects and field trips, including those which occur outside of regular program hours.

  • Partner with Activity Specialists, assisting them in lesson plan development and facilitation, to develop professionally and eventually become Activity Specialists.

  • Complete 15 hours of professional development each calendar year.

  • Demonstrate key competencies including initiative, teamwork, cooperation, preparedness, professionalism, reliability, and a willingness to continuously improve.

  • Adhere to policies and procedures in a proactive manner, making the safety and care of children your primary focus.

  • Perform related duties and responsibilities as requested by the Site Director.

Qualifications

  • Available during after-school hours, 2:00pm - 6:00pm, (20 hours per week not inclusive of meetings); Monday-Friday during the school year and some school holidays

  • High school diploma required; associate degree preferred

  • 1 or more years working with elementary or middle school-aged children
