About the Club

For nearly 70 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue has provided safe spaces for Bellevue's youth outside of school hours. We focus on serving neighborhoods with the greatest need, ensuring equitable access to life-enhancing programs centered on academics, health, and leadership. Our mission is to empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

BGCB is a dynamic organization that continuously adapts to meet the evolving needs of youth and the community. We seek flexible individuals to run an innovative program called The Teen Tech Center. The Tech Center, established with the support of The Clubhouse Network, offers young people (ages 10 to 18) the opportunity to work on projects that are meaningful to their lives, using computers and technology. The program provides support and resources to help young people pursue their interests and build on their talents. In the Teen Tech Center, youth can design their own music, art, newsletters, robots, science simulations, computer games, and animation, and we are looking for someone who can teach the teens and help bring these programs and projects to life.

The Teen Tech Center Coordinator supports the Center's day-to-day activities, helping engage youth, providing technical assistance, and facilitating programs. This role requires a passion for technology, creativity, and youth development, helping young participants explore projects in music, digital media, robotics, and more.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Help Teen Tech Center members develop projects (e.g., help them come up with ideas, gather materials, get started, locate mentors to work with them, and support their ongoing work).
• Support volunteer mentors, ensuring they work effectively with youth.
