The City of St. Louis Park is actively seeking qualified individuals to fill positions as activity instructors for its summer recreation programs. The Park and Recreation Department has announced openings for both the mobile recreation program, known as Park N’ Play, and the preschool playground program, with all applications due by February 22, 2024.
For those enthusiastic about engaging with youth and fostering a fun-filled environment, the role of mobile recreation program instructor may be the ideal fit. This position involves coordinating staff and activities as the program travels to various locations and special events across St. Louis Park. Applicants should be ready for a dynamic summer schedule, which runs from June to August, with hours ranging from daytime to evenings and potentially accumulating to 40 hours per week.
Alternatively, individuals interested in working with younger children can apply for the position of preschool playground site coordinator. This part-time role focuses on supervising children aged 4 and 5 and providing enriching recreational experiences. Similar to the mobile program, this position will also take place during the summer months, offering between 30 and 40 hours of work each week.
The City of St. Louis Park emphasizes the importance of these roles in creating memorable experiences for community youth. The mobile recreation program aims to foster connections, creativity, and physical activity among participants, while the preschool program is designed to nurture early childhood development through play and learning.
Interested candidates can easily apply online, with the application deadline rapidly approaching. The City encourages potential applicants to prepare their résumés and apply before the cut-off date to secure a chance to contribute to the community this summer.
With opportunities available for both seasoned instructors and those looking to gain experience in a recreational setting, St. Louis Park is poised to deliver a vibrant summer of activities and engagement for its youth.
