Books for Keeps is hiring for Spring Distributions 2020!
Books for Keeps is looking to hire up to two additional part-time seasonal staff members to help administer our Stop Summer Slide program this Spring. 2020 marks the first year we’ll be in every Clarke County Elementary School and we’ll need all the help we can get to make this year the best ever for the students in our community, and beyond.
The part-time, spring program coordinator position was created to provide vital support to Books for Keeps staff during spring book distributions. The Books for Keeps spring program coordinators will report to the program manager. This is a temporary position beginning after March 30 and ending by June 5. The Books for Keeps spring program coordinators will be paid $15.00 per hour on a contract basis.
This position relies heavily on the ability to interact positively with students, teachers, and volunteers. It is also dependent on the candidate’s ability to lift boxes – typically between 15 and 35 pounds apiece – repeatedly over a 4-5 hour period. The work is hard, but the rewards of helping students fall in love with reading abound!
The schedule for this position will fluctuate based on the needs of the program. Candidates must have availability between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. at least two days per week from March 30 through June 5. Some days will be shift-based, with hours from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., or from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours will be scheduled two to six weeks in advance, but may change based on shifting needs and availability of other staff. See below for an approximate schedule.
March 25th: 9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.: Spring Key Volunteer Training
