Job DescriptionWe are looking for a Pre-K 3/4 (mixed class of 3 and 4 year olds) Assistant Teacher for 2008-09. This position might be a fit for a broader number of candidates because it could be for a full school year or it could be just for the fall or the spring semester. The reason that we have this flexibility is because the current assistant will be doing her student teaching and has the option to do it either in the fall or spring. If possible she would like to continue to work at Oak Lane next year. However, I would like to fill the position with the best candidate, so if that means hiring for the full school year then that is what I will do.   This is a part-time salaried position (.75 time) and the hours are from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. daily. We run an extended day program and there would be the opportunity to pick up additional work between 3 and 6 each day if that was desired. This position comes with health benefits.   There are a couple of 2008 Summer Camp counselor positions available for the preschool through 2nd grade bunks.

Job DescriptionI am the Director of Development for a private college scholarship fund for caddies and others in service to golf. Our awards range from $1,000 to $8,000 per year per student, and are intended to augment the financial aid provided by colleges or universities. We receive about one hundred applications a year from member golf clubs, and award scholarships to all qualified applicants who meet the financial need criteria (approximately 70%). We use an outside consultant to evaluate the applications and determine the level of financial need. After working with us for fifteen years, our consultant just informed us that for personal reasons he will be unable to assist us going forward. As a result, we need a thorough, detail-oriented consultant to: ---Work with the students beginning in March to make sure their scholarship applications are complete for the April 15th submission deadline. --- Once an application is complete, determine the level of financial need. --- Present findings to the Board of Directors for evaluation in early June. --- Meet with the Board of Directors and candidates selected for awards in late June. We are located in Westchester County, NY. The consultant does not need to be local, but needs to be in regular phone and e-mail contact with the applicants, communicate with us on a regular basis, and attend the June meetings. The consultant also must have a solid admissions or financial aid background, preferably as a former director or assistant director, and knowledge of the financial aid practices at four year and community colleges. While the consultant does not solicit applications, s/he should expect to spend a significant amount of time calling and e-mailing to ensure that submitted applications are complete.

One graduate, who was the first in her family to attend a four-year college, writes: „I was kept on task with what had to be done. I was on time with everything: starting my essay, FAFSA, and applying to school.

Additionally, you will have a central role in organizational leadership, including involvement with program design and evaluation, planning organizational growth, formulating development strategies, and building relationships with teen-serving non-profits and institutions of higher education. If you are energetic, creative, flexible, hard-working, and highly organized and if you want to grow alongside the organization, this is a great opportunity. Although the position is demanding, the supportive, close-knit environment of CV and the impressive outcomes you will help produce make it highly rewarding. Responsibilities: The Assistant Director will be responsible for: ? Serving as the primary college advisor for 35 high school seniors. ? Building relationships with colleges and advocating for advisees during the admissions process. ? Evaluating and expanding programming. ? Developing curriculum. ?

While we prefer counselors to come for the entirety of one of the sessions, counselors can come for one, two, three or four weeks. Counselors are responsible for the care of their camper, running activities, and general service to the camp as a whole. A daily schedule includes but is not limited to: breakfast, music class, activities (including pottery, jewelry making, basketball, yoga, painting, baseball, etc.), lunch, the beach, dinner and an evening activity (e.g. going to concerts, drumming cookouts on the beach, dances…). Days are full, but filled with great joy and an inordinate amount of laughter. Working at camp is a truly unique experience. Experience working with special needs children and adults is not necessary; orientation will be held prior to the start of each session, and most people have no experience before coming to camp. Please contact Rachel Winter at campjabberwocky@gmail.com if you have any questions or are interested in working at Jabberwocky.
