Job Description

Woodcraft Rangers is a long-established community-focused non-profit organization founded in 1922 in Los Angeles, California. With a rich history spanning over a century, Woodcraft Rangers has consistently dedicated itself to guiding young people through their personal growth journeys by offering expanded learning programs that foster holistic development. The organization is renowned for its inclusive, youth-led approach and its dedication to nurturing body, mind, spirit, and service, collectively known as the Woodcraft Way. Serving more than 30,000 young people annually across over 150 Title I schools in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties, Woodcraft Rangers continues to expand its reach and impact. It offers diverse programming including TK-12 expanded learning initiatives, specialty enrichment, summer camps, early learning programs, environmental and social justice activities, college access support, and inclusion services for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As an Early Learning / Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Program Leader, also known as a Junior Rangers Leader, you will hold a pivotal role in creating a fun, safe, and positive learning environment for young learners primarily in TK and Kindergarten groups of up to 10 students. This part-time non-exempt position, located in Moreno Valley or Perris, involves working approximately 20-25 hours per week in shifts that may vary and include evenings, weekends, and required training sessions. The hourly compensation ranges from $21.50 to $25.70 based on experience and qualifications.

Junior Rangers Leaders contribute significantly by planning and facilitating age-appropriate activities that embrace a whole-child approach, integrating social-emotional learning, skill building, self-esteem, and leadership development. This hands-on, on-site position demands enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine passion for working with young children within either an outdoor or school-based setting. Leaders work collaboratively with the Site Coordinator and Community Liaison to ensure program success, cultivate positive relationships with participants and stakeholders, and comply with all safety protocols and emergency procedures. The role also provides opportunities for personal growth, connection with colleagues, and a direct impact on the lives of children. Woodcraft Rangers not only offers competitive pay and sick leave but also features upward mobility within a promote-from-within culture and access to LifeCraft, a free college and career advancement program available to all staff. This position is ideal for those who are detail-oriented, energetic, and ready to make a meaningful impact on their community by supporting youth development at a foundational level.
