START Employment Opportunities

Everyone had a mentor growing up. Who was yours?

Join us to build the capacity of individuals to succeed by providing opportunities to learn and lead within our communities.

The Sacramento START Site Teams are comprised of a Program Coordinator and Recreation Aides (the exact number per school based on a 20:1 student-instructor ratio). These teams are tasked with not only implementing the program design model at their schools but they are also empowered to design curriculum within that design to meet the needs of their school and the interests of their students.

Every site director is certified in CPR and First Aid. All the Sacramento START staff have completed at least 48 units of college coursework or passed the No Child Left Behind Instructional Aide Basic Skills Exam. In addition to these requirements, complete extensive training in Youth Development, Mandated Reporting, Classroom Management, Professionalism, Project Based Learning, Program Activities Planning, Fitness and Nutrition, and more. Our program teams are a diverse group of individuals – many of whom come from the communities they have chosen to serve and can speak the dominant languages of their school – dedicated to developing every child we serve.
