Get Paid to Play, Lead & Make a Difference
Looking for a part-time job that's genuinely fun, works around your schedule, and makes a lasting impact?

Part-Time | Honolulu
$18–$21/hour + Benefits for Part-Time Employees
This isn't your typical after-school job. One minute you might be leading a kickball game, helping with an art project, or building an epic LEGO creation. The next, you're encouraging a child who's struggling with homework or helping them make a new friend.
If you enjoy staying active, having fun, and making a difference, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
Why You'll Love This Job
Get Paid to Have Fun
Your afternoons may include:
- Playing outdoor games and sports

- Helping with homework
- Organizing team challenges and group games
- Sharing your hobbies and interests with keiki
- Encouraging creativity, confidence, and friendships

It's one of the few jobs where playing games, being active, and having fun are actually part of the job description.
A Schedule That Works
- Monday-Friday afternoons (approximately 1:30 PM-5:30 PM)
- Early release Wednesdays (start around 12:30 PM)

That's pretty rewarding.
