Community Care Specialist
The DREAM Program works to reduce the opportunity gap by providing 4 primary programs through the year - Afterschool Enrichment, Village Mentoring, Adventure, and Summer Enrichment. We seek to serve in partnership with neighborhoods, caregivers, and youth in all of the programs we provide. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
Member Duties : Members will support afterschool programming by helping activities run smoothly, assisting with logistics, attendance, and facilitation, and maintaining a welcoming, organized, and safe environment for youth. They will build relationships with families, caregivers, and community members, connecting them with DREAM resources and events to strengthen family-centered enrichment. Members will mentor youth during program hours, modeling DREAM's values of respect, creativity, and equity while fostering leadership, feedback, and youth voice in planning. They will also act as connectors between site staff, Youth Service Managers, and DREAM leadership, sharing updates and site needs. Participation in team meetings, trainings, and professional development is expected, as well as documenting service activities. Through this service, members will enhance program consistency, increase family engagement, support youth belonging, and strengthen communication across DREAM.
