After School Program Coordinator

The Core Group builds immersive, hands‑on learning experiences for students — after school, during breaks, and inside the school day. We’re a team of career educators: former school leaders and classroom teachers who believe joyful experiences should be at the core of all learning. We partner with schools across the Bay Area to design programs around Explore, Move, and Create — because students learn best when they’re doing all three.

You’ll design and run sessions that get students moving, exploring, and building skills they’ll carry well beyond the school day.
