Amazing Athletes is seeking a Site Coordinator to oversee our afterschool programs at SAM School’s two Manhattan locations. You’ll be based at SAM Nursery on 74th Street Monday through Thursday and will also oversee the program at SAM Elementary on 96th Street with the support of an on-site Assistant Site Coordinator.

This role combines hands-on program leadership with family communication, staff support, and administrative work. You’ll make sure students are accounted for, classes are prepared, dismissal runs smoothly, and both locations provide a safe and welcoming experience.
