    Girls Inc. of Chicago

    Organization Overview

    Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Our comprehensive approach to whole girl development equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers and grow up healthy, educated, and independent. These positive outcomes are achieved through three core elements: people - trained staff and volunteers who build lasting, mentoring relationships; environment - girls-only, physically and emotionally safe, where there is a sisterhood of support, high expectations, and mutual respect; and programming - research-based, hands-on and minds-on, age-appropriate, meeting the needs of today's girls. Informed by girls and their families, we also advocate for legislation and policies to increase opportunities for all girls and address the systemic barriers that impede girls' success, particularly girls in low-income communities and girls of color.

    Girls Inc. of Chicago has an exciting opportunity for a Part-Time Program Facilitator. The Program Facilitator is responsible for implementing and adapting a wide variety of enrichment activities for grades K-12th, year-round, during the school year and during out-of-school time hours. Facilitators will be responsible for leading instruction, and curriculum-based content for hands-on/minds-on activities and discussions designed to increase knowledge, strengthen self-confidence, and cultivate communication and other pro-social skills.

    Additionally, the Part-Time Program Facilitator must be open to delivering programs in either a virtual or in-person environment.
