Join Our Team!
We are currently taking applications for After School Coaches, School Release Coaches, Summer Camp 2025 Coaches, and Summer 2025 Site Directors.
AKASPORT is a progressive nonprofit organization whose mission is to help kids learn and grow through sport.
We are committed to keeping kids active by exposing them to a variety of different sports. For many reasons, we believe that multi-sport programs are far more beneficial to young bodies and minds than year-round single-sport training programs. Keep it fun and stay active!
We are always looking for positive, energetic people to join our team! Applicants should have some experience with sports, fitness and/or working with children ages 5-12. Responsibilities include working on specific sport skills as well as organizing games and activities.
