Inclusion Companion (Ice Skating)

At NSSRA, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to play. Formed in 1970 with that goal in mind, we were the first Special Recreation Association in the country, offering programs and services for children, teens and adults with disabilities. We are similar to a park district, however we only serve residents in our partner communities with special needs.

ABOUT THE JOB
Some people with disabilities choose to participate in park district or recreation department programs alongside people without disabilities. That’s where we come in. NSSRA’s Inclusion services are available to participants of programs offered within NSSRA’s thirteen partner communities at no additional cost to the family.

As an Ice Skating Inclusion Companion at NSSRA, you will:

• Engage with participants on the ice and help them learn new skating skills.

• Support skaters during lessons, games, and warm-ups in a positive, encouraging environment.

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for confident ice  skaters who enjoy working with participants of all abilities and want a fun, rewarding, and flexible part-time role.
