My DS23 worked at the YMCA during his summer break when he was in 10th and 11th grade. He and a few other teens worked all day on weekdays at the summer camp and the kids just loved them. Especially the little girls! I know they are usually looking for people who enjoy working with young children.

Thanks for the idea. The only after school program in our community, other than child care centers, etc., is a latch-key program run by the local school system. They are fully staffed already (as seems to be one of my big dilemmas this fall -- I didn't know I'd be considering looking for something until it was too late), and, actually, they don't have a very good reputation at being good at controlling behavior.
