RVYC Leadership Counsellor – Grand Bay Westfield
Job description
River Valley Youth Centre, located at the rink level of the River Valley Community Centre, operated by the BGC Greater Saint John (formerly the Boys and Girls Club of Saint John), is currently looking for a Leadership Counsellor.
About Us
At the BGC Greater Saint John we believe that every youth is amazing. To teens, their Club should feel like a place where they can hang out with friends, and make new ones, but it is so much more than that. It’s a safe place that provides them with three of the things that they need most: a sense of belonging, a sense of success, and positive relationships.
About You
Leadership Counsellors are people who believe in youth, and want to help them achieve their full potential. Counsellors develop strong, caring, relationships with the children and youth, while leading fun and engaging programs. They provide mentorship, guidance, and support, as youth build confidence, develop leadership skills, make healthy choices, and increase the likelihood that they will finish school.
The Job
Leadership Counsellors at the River Valley Youth Centre will plan and lead programs for middle school aged youth. These programs will be a combination of both National BGC and local programs. Counsellors will assist the Team Lead in planning and implementing programs to create a great experience for Grand Bay-Westfield youth.
