Kids Movement Instructor (Yoga and/or Dance)

We are seeking a high-energy, compassionate Kids Movement Instructor (Yoga or Dance) to join our children's enrichment programs. You won't just be teaching poses; you will be a mentor providing kids with the social-emotional learning (SEL) tools they need to thrive academically and personally.

• Safety & Inclusion: Ensure a safe, non-competitive environment where every child feels supported and included.

Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 1–2 years working with children preferred (e.g., teaching, camp counseling, or youth volunteering).
• Certification: Training and certification provided. However, Yoga Teacher Certification (RYT-200) and specialized Children’s Yoga training (RCYT) is a major plus.
• Attributes: Enthusiastic, patient, adaptable, and a genuine passion for youth development.
• Requirements: Must pass a criminal background and child abuse clearance check. Access to a car.
