Job Description:
Galileo is looking for program visionaries to direct current or
new Camp Galileo sites for the 2021 season. Summer Program
Directors (internally referred to as "Camp Directors") are
outstanding leaders who assume overall leadership of a summer day
camp location, including staff management, day-to-day operations,
and creating a joy-filled summer camp culture. We value divergent
thinkers who bring various experiences and viewpoints to the table
at Galileo. We strongly encourage members of underrepresented
groups and people of diverse backgrounds to apply.Who are you? *
You're inspired by Galileo's mission and purpose. Innovation
education, project-based learning, youth empowerment, and creating
safe, inclusive spaces all speak to the very heart of who you are.*
You're an experienced, creative, fun-loving leader. You're as
comfortable resolving conflict between two campers as you are
mentoring your staff or putting your own unique spin on a classic
game. * You're communicative and trustworthy. As a
relationship-builder and mentor, you measure your own success in
large part by the success of those around you, and care deeply
about helping them meet professional development goals. * You're an
organized, problem-solving manager. You love fine-tuning
operational logistics, ensuring program efficiency, and learning
new strategies for driving overall performance. * You're ready to
grow. You know that true mastery requires commitment, effort,
thoughtful feedback, personal reflection, and implementation of
lessons learned. Who are we?We think the world needs innovators. We
also think kids who learn to explore and fail without fear-the
essence of innovation-are happier, more creative and more confident
when faced with life's challenges. And we think kids with these
skills are more likely to change our world and be the masters of
their own.Founded in 2002, Galileo operates educational programs
for kids which includes summer day camps at 50+ locations
throughout the Bay Area, SoCal, and Chicago, along with our new
Galileo Anywhere virtual class offerings and Galileo at Home
program. Our mission is to develop innovators who envision and
create a better world, and we reach this mission through employment

years!), and were named a Real Leader Magazine Top Impact twice and
one of Forbes' Best Small Companies. Being a Galileo Camp Director
means joining an organization that is a model of innovative
learning, with a company-wide commitment to inclusion and
broadening our impact. Learn more about our financial assistance
program and other community efforts.Position DescriptionWhat's the
job, really?Pre-camp: Most Camp Directors have full-time jobs
during the school year, and commit -4-7 hours each week to their
Camp Director role (March-May/June).During Summer: Camp Directors
work 55-65 hours each week during camp (and most camps run 6-8
weeks). * You'll brilliantly build, lead, and maintain your camp
community. From prioritizing safety to mastering operations to
nurturing and retaining staff to creating camp culture and
traditions, you'll work to identify and execute on your program
vision, ensuring our campers have their most magical summers ever.
* You'll train, collaborate with, motivate, and develop a team of
summer staff. You'll be a supportive manager with high
expectations, who takes this part of your role seriously. You'll
actively evaluate potential-both strengths and areas of growth-and
will thoughtfully push your team to greatness in ways that have an
astounding ripple effect.* You'll create and build partnerships
like a boss. As the face of Galileo in the community you serve,
you'll work closely with your manager on navigating your host
school relationship, and consistently delivering exceptional
service to our camper families. * You'll leverage existing (and
carefully crafted) training and resources to masterfully manage
your time and responsibilities, efficiently tracking your workflow
details and calendar in the pre-season to prepare for camp.What are

Galileo is unusual in that Camp Directors participate in-and
benefit from-the financial success of their camps through our bonus
program.* Lasting positive impact on kids, staff, families, and
communities. As a Galileo Camp Director, you'll develop meaningful,
multi-year relationships with staff members, campers and families.
You'll inspire the spark of camp, helping kids see themselves as
true innovators.* Leadership training & professional development.

professional development and training sessions throughout the
pre-camp season, monthly individual coaching throughout the
pre-camp season, and weekly check-ins throughout the summer,
mentorship, and access to Galileo's network of prominent
educational leaders. Camp Directors are given the tools, framework,
community, and support to take ownership of and implement a
fully-developed program. * Opportunity. As Galileo grows, we're
often looking for Regional Directors, curriculum creators, and
other full-time staff. Successful Camp Directors are likely
candidates for such opportunities. We also have an extensive list
of recruiting partners, which connect our staff with outstanding
opportunities outside of Galileo.* Community. You'll become part of
a current and former Galileo staff network of over 10,000 inspiring
changemakers. Former Galileans stay connected, and have even gone
on to create successful non-profit organizations together! Learn
more about our staff here. * Free camp. We offer either free camp
sessions or significant camp discounts to all Galileo staff. Work
