Description
Imagine yourself on a bright and sunny morning greeting children as they arrive for March Break programming at the Mill Courtland Community Centre.

You will work with the Program Coordinator to set up supplies and equipment for games, crafts, and snack times. Under the Program Coordinator's supervision, you will assist the children in making friends, participating in activities, and feeling safe and heard.

After a half-day of games and activities, you will greet parents and guardians as they arrive for pick-up. You will end your day by assisting the Program Coordinator with tidying and preparing supplies for the next day.

The March Break program for children runs from Monday March 13, 2023 to Friday, March 17, 2023. Assistants will be expected to be present for all five days of programming, from 8AM- 1PM.

Assistants who meet the time expectations will receive a nominal honorarium as a gift for their dedication to the well-being of the young participants.
