At Kid Zone you are put into leadership roles right at the beginning. The interview process is to see whether or not you would be a good fit for Kid Zone and working with kids, but also on what leadership roles you can be placed into when being hired. I have been fortunate enough to have previous leadership roles and experience with working with kids, that I was hired on as an "AL" which means Assistant Leader. At each school you have a site coordinator that looks over more than one school, a supervisor, assistant supervisor, assistant leader, and assistant student leader.
As an AL I am in charge of a certain age group of kids and lead/instruct different clubs that we have. My coworker Deyzi is an AL and she is in charge of the tennis club. I am working with the 2nd-5th graders along with two or so more ALs because of the amount of kids in that age group. I mostly oversee "centers" time, where we have different stations that the kids can go to and play. On Wednesday I am in charge of homework club. I oversee the kids that they are accomplishing their homework. Kid Zone is always putting the employees in leadership roles. We are expected to be leaders at all time and to strive to go higher in leadership roles.
Over spring break, I worked at a kid zone spring break camp. I was put into a leadership role that had me in charge of all the kindergartners at the camp. This was a huge role and one that I was a little nervous about, but found it very fun and rewarding. I thoroughly enjoy being in leadership roles, and am happy that it makes me come out of my comfort zone and put myself out there.
