Job Title: Teen Program Coordinator (High School & CIT Programs)
Location: Boys & Girls Club of Milford
Position Type: Seasonal (Summer)

Position Overview



The Teen Program Coordinator is a leadership role responsible for co-developing, implementing, and supervising engaging, safe, and impactful programming for high school-aged members and Counselors-in-Training (CITs) during the summer program. This position supports both traditional teen programming and structured leadership development initiatives, helping teens build confidence, responsibility, life skills, and a strong sense of belonging.


This individual will serve as a mentor, facilitator, and role model, working to create a positive Club culture where all teens feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. The Teen Program Coordinator must be comfortable taking initiative, leading independently, and managing both structured programs and day-to-day operations, including stepping into a leadership role when the Teen Director is not present.

  • Offer constructive feedback and encouragement to support personal growth
  • Model appropriate behavior, work ethic, and leadership at all times
  • Facilitate reflection activities to help CITs process their experiences and growth

Sports & Recreation Programming


  • Design, organize, and run a 3-on-3 basketball program or league for high school members
  • Create schedules, teams, and rules that promote fair play, inclusion, and positive competition
  • Supervise all games and practices, ensuring safety and sportsmanship
  • Engage non-participating members through alternative recreational activities

  • Enforce Club rules, policies, and behavioral expectations fairly and consistently
  • Address conflicts or behavioral issues calmly and constructively using positive behavior management techniques
  • Identify and respond appropriately to safety concerns, incidents, or emergencies

  • Build strong, positive relationships with teens, creating an environment of trust and respect
  • Foster a sense of belonging where all members feel included and valued

  • Ensure all programs run smoothly and safely in the absence of direct supervision
  • Make responsible decisions regarding program adjustments, safety, and behavior management
