Current Openings

On Court Support

We are a recreation program, which is different from a more formal clinic setting. While the majority of our participants make progress in a range of areas, we are not providing therapy. We aim for participants to be happy, relaxed, and engaged. As an expert, your goal is to teach our volunteers and Program Directors how to best work with, communicate with, and relate to the kids in our program. The goal is not for you to work directly with participants, but to consult on strategies and basic principles of behavior to our volunteers who work directly with the participants.

Job Duties (including but not limited to)
