The MetroWest YMCA is hiring a full time Site Director for our School's Out Before and After School program at our Barbieri school location. This Framingham School is a two-way bilingual school and we would like to have our before and after school program reflect that. During the school year Site Directors are in program every afternoon from 2:30-6pm working directly with children and staff. They attend the morning program 2-4 times a month to ensure the program is running to standard. Administration hours make up the remainder or the 40 hour work week. During early release days, vacation camp, and summer camp hours shift to reflect the program needs.
