After School Matters, in Chicago, is hiring people on contract to complete observations between July 7 to August 8 for After School Matters. We are looking for people with youth development and/or educational backgrounds. They must be available during the day for at least 20 hours. It would be optimal if they were previously trained using the Youth Program Quality Assessment. Otherwise, they will take the online training which takes 2 to 4 hours and we will have an in person 2 day External Assessor training with Weikart on July 7 and 8. The pay is $15 to $18 an hour. If they pass the External Assessor portion, we will pay $18.
