WORK WITH THE CDPF Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation: APPLICATIONS MUST INCLUDE Your Resume, a Cover Letter, & Any Relevant Certifications

ABOUT US The Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation (CDPF) operates Big Kahuna Swim Academy (BKSA) — a private nonprofit swim school with one mission: to eradicate childhood drowning, one child at a time.

• Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under 5.
• Every lesson we teach matters.
• Every child we reach is a potential life saved.
• Our niche is private, 1:1 swim lessons using our proven Learn To Swim curriculum, which focuses on the 8 Basic Water Safety Skills.
• We've delivered 25,000+ lessons across two locations in Norco and Riverside, CA — and we're growing.

About 30% of our students have special needs, with a strong emphasis on autistic learners. Our 1:1 model is uniquely built to serve this population, and it's one of the things we're most proud of.

ABOUT THIS APPLICATION We're not always hiring for one specific role. We're hiring for the right people.

• We have a number of part-time and fractional roles available — likely the best fit for a generalist who is flexible and mission-minded, rather than a seasoned specialist, given our nonprofit pay scale. Roles span a wide range of functions, including:
• Client communications & front-office support
• Data entry, recordkeeping & filing systems
• Social media content scheduling & basic design
• Event planning & logistics
• Community engagement & outreach
• Recruiting coordination & candidate management
• Swim instruction (private, 1:1 lessons)
• Executive assistance & CEO support
• General admin & operational support

If you believe in the mission, show up for the people around you, and want to be part of building something that genuinely saves children's lives — we want to hear from you.

What we can offer beyond a paycheck is meaningful work. Every hour you contribute directly supports our mission to prevent childhood drowning — one child at a time.

This is not a place for people looking for a job to pass the time. This is a place for people who want to be somewhere on purpose.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR We hire for character first. Skill can be taught.

The right candidate

• Is reliable — early is on time; they prepare before being asked and follow through without reminders
• Is coachable — they implement feedback immediately, without defensiveness or excuses
• Has emotional maturity — they assume good intent, don't gossip, and address concerns directly
• Shows initiative — they notice what needs doing and step in without being asked
• Is mission-driven — they're not just looking for any job; they care about why CDPF exists

Experience working with special needs populations — including autism, sensory processing differences, and developmental delays — is a major plus. If this part of our mission excites you, we especially want to hear from you.

Requirements

• At least 18 years old and a high school graduate
• Reliable transportation to our Norco and/or Riverside locations
• Ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Willing to complete a background check and drug screen
• CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain prior to start date) — required for aquatic roles

• Compensation & details
• Starting at $17–$20/hour, commensurate with experience and role
• Both locations: Norco (5th St and Hamner) and Riverside (19531 Mission Village Dr)
• Year-round positions available
• Part-time and potential full-time opportunities

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER "I started this with one goal

to prevent childhood drowning. I've spent over a decade building something I believe in deeply — and I'm looking for people who want to be part of building it with us. Not for a year. Not for a few seasons. For the long run. If that resonates with you, let's talk."

— Tenaya Goldsmith, Founder & CEO
