Extended Day Staff

• HUB is Hamlin’s afterschool care program.
• HUB stands for “Hang out, Unwind, Belong” – it’s also a fitting name because HUB is the center of activities in Hamlin's Extended Day Programs.
• Our Extended Day team works daily to make each student feel welcomed, nourished, and engaged during their time with us.
• We provide a mix of structured and unstructured activities, and students can choose to move between playing outside with their friends, getting their homework done, participating in an art activity, or relaxing with a book or a game.
• HUB sees anywhere from 60-100 students per day, and is usually busy, lively, and energetic!
• Ideal candidate has energy to match that of our students and programs.
