Girlstart's After School Program Leader commitment is 5-8 hours/week. Leading 2 After School programs is approximately a 6-hour weekly commitment, which includes being prepared for the lesson, driving to location, leading the activity, and cleaning up. In addition to the 6 hours, Program Leaders are encouraged to have 1-2 office hours to practice, pack materials, and ask questions about the activity and/oroom management.


Mandatory on-going training provided throughout position.
