Responsive recruiter
Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation / Big Kahuna Swim Academy | Norco & Riverside, CA | Part-Time
Why This Job Exists
In 2005, our Founder lost a classmate named Arturo — he drowned one week before graduating high school. That loss became the mission. The Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation exists to ensure that it never happens to another family.
We deliver 800+ private swim lessons a month across two locations, teaching children the water safety skills that save their lives. Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under 5. We're doing something about it — and we're building the team to do more.
What This Role Actually Is
This is not a one-task job.
Depending on the day, the need, and where you're most useful, you might be:
- Teaching 1:1 private swim lessons (ages 0 and up)
- Answering phones and supporting client scheduling
- Handling front desk and check-in operations
- Supporting the Founder and leadership directly
- Keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly
We're a small nonprofit. Everyone pitches in. The right person doesn't need a perfectly defined lane — they see what needs doing and do it.
Who We're Looking For
We don't hire for résumés. We hire for character.
The people who thrive here are:
- Reliable — early is on time. You follow through without being chased.
- Coachable — you take feedback and implement it, without defensiveness.
- Emotionally mature — you assume good intent, stay out of drama, and regulate yourself.
- Full of initiative — you notice what needs doing and do it without being asked.
- Mission-driven — you care about the why, not just the shift.
What You Should Know Upfront
We're a small nonprofit, and we're honest about that. Here's what we offer:
- Work that directly saves children's lives
- A values-driven team that holds a high standard
- Real growth opportunity as the Foundation expands
What we need from you: flexibility. Hours, roles, and locations shift with the season and the need. If you require a fixed schedule or a single defined role, this likely isn't the right fit. If you thrive when things aren't perfectly predictable, you'll do well here.
