Description

Benefits: 401(k) Free food & snacks Paid time off Training & development Join the Team – Work That Matters | Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation Part-Time / Potential Full-Time • Norco & Riverside, CA Benefits: 401(k) | Company parties | Free food & snacks | Opportunity for advancement | Training & development WORK WITH THE CDPF Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation 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. 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. Positions across the foundation include swim instructors, administrative support, program coordination, and more. Whatever the need, whatever the role, we're looking for people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and contribute. 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. WHAT YOU MIGHT DO Depending on the role you're matched with, you might: Deliver private 1:1 swim lessons using the BKSA Learn-to-Swim curriculum Support day-to-day operations and administrative functions Build and maintain relationships with students, families, and the broader community (expected) Assist with scheduling, communications, data entry, and program logistics Participate in team meetings, trainings, and embrace ongoing coaching and feedback (expected) Notice what needs doing — and step in without being asked (expected) 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
