Summer Camp Counselor - Minneapolis, United States - Phyllis Wheatley Community Center
Description
Who We Are
Phyllis Wheatley Community Center (PWCC) has proudly served the Minneapolis Community since 1924 and was the first agency in the Twin Cities committed to meeting the human services needs of a growing African American community. For many Blacks, PWCC was a safe port in the midst of a racially segregated city. Although our community remains chronically underserved today, our organization is dedicated to breaking barriers, fostering opportunities, and creating equity and equality for the African American community.
Why You'll Love Working Here
At PWCC, we believe in the transformative power of education and restoration and the profound impact of empowering marginalized voices. We work to safeguard equity and equality in all our programs and services, which aim to eliminate opportunity gaps for the community. PWCC programs provide skills training, family restorative courses, health and vaccine services, early childhood education, skilled technology workforce development programming, and other pathways that allow people to discover their strengths and take control of their futures. The people we work with are filled with resilience, determination, and perseverance, unique to only those who have come far, but still have much further to go.
Wages & Benefits
$ $17.00 per hour; This position is not eligible for benefits except for accrual of Minnesota Sick and Safe Leave.
Schedule
This is a temporary, seasonal position involving almost exclusively field-based work. This position works 9:30-4:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays and may include some evening or weekend hours. Some sessions may run on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays, but staff will be informed of those dates prior to being hired. Summer trips will be within parks and areas that are outside, subject to summer elements, and involve walking long distances (up to 2 miles).
A Typical Day in the Life...
A typical day as Phyllis Wheatley's Summer Camp Counselor provides an opportunity to supervise youth within the summer program for Camp Parsons. You will work with participants each session of the summer while they learn about the cultural, environmental, and industrial factors that have shaped the Mississippi river into what we see today.
