Position Summary

The Floating Site Coordinator plays a critical role in ensuring consistency, safety, and quality across out-of-school time program sites by providing short-term coverage during Site Coordinator absences.

The Floating Site Coordinator actively supervises students, supports staff, and models positive, engaged behavior.
