DREAMLINE GOALS

Dreamline partners with K-12th grade schools to provide culturally competent mentoring, and direct social emotional instruction to support three core dimensions of a student’s development: social, emotional, and cognitive. This helps young people define their own path to success by helping them to (1) engage with their peers, school, and community; (2) improve their emotional well-being; (3) discover academic success and graduate from high school; and (4) prepare for life after high school.

Mentors are expected to work with students in the following ways:

Goal 1: Advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
Goal 2: Build trusted relationships with young people, parents, school staff, and community members.
Goal 3: Empower youth through social emotional learning (SEL).
Goal 4: Work together with students, parents, school staff, and community members as advocates and partners in student learning and wellbeing.
The Dreamline program is grounded in the theory that students who develop meaningful relationships with trusted adults begin to develop positive attitudes toward school, themselves, and their future. In partnership with K-12th grade schools, Dreamline Mentors intentionally engage underrepresented and marginalized students through the Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships framework to create deep and meaningful connections.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Dreamline Mentors are the key leverage points in helping students develop a positive growth trajectory. Each Mentor works with a cohort of 15-25 students to develop a deep relationship with, partner, and support each student in setting and achieving personal goals. This is accomplished through intersections where Mentors work together with students: 1) Culturally-relevant and responsive bi-directional mentoring relationships; 2) Direct social emotional learning instruction 3) Academic support (tutoring, homework help, and in-class support) 4) Expanded Learning Opportunities; and 5) Service Opportunities. Dreamline Mentors will also participate in other Sanneh Foundation programs and/or events as needed.

Values:

Caring
Growth & Learning
Respect
Adaptability

Position Description
Each summer, The Sanneh Foundation runs free sports camps for Twin Cities youth, teaching the fundamentals in sportsmanship and life skills through various fun activities. Each summer we run approximately 100 free sports camps in the Twin Cities Metro for youth, ages 5-14. In this position, the Summer Camp Sports Coach will learn to coach, teach, and manage youth in a sporting environment. Learn leadership and team-building skills that extend beyond the field.

Number of Openings: 24

Encompassed Sports: Basketball, Soccer, Pickleball

Hours Per Week: appx. 15 – 29 hours weekly.

A TYPICAL WEEK

Monday – Thursday: Summer Camp Sports Coaches will serve as youth sports coaches (soccer, basketball or pickleball) that will help to lead our junior coaching staff in running free sports camps at various Twin Cities parks, fields, and school sites (mostly outdoors). Most of our camps run 2.5 hours. Evening camps run 1.5 hours and partnership camps vary by location. There is a setup time of thirty minutes and a breakdown time of 15 minutes each camp day.

Camps run in different locations each week and can be scheduled for morning, afternoon, and/or evening sessions. It is a prerequisite that Summer Camp Sports Coaches have a sports-specific background in the sport they coach.

Friday: Our Summer Camp Sports Coaches will participate in youth leadership and professional development training. Using their Monday-Thursday ‘hands-on’ experience as leaders/role-models to younger kids (campers) as a platform for discussion, our weekly leadership training helps to build upon, cultivate, and nurture/grow each Summer Camp Sports Coach’s “leader within.” Training each Friday covers approximately 4-6 hours and will take place at either Conway Recreation Center in St. Paul or at a location that is to be determined.

*Camp locations vary each week and in some cases, TSF Camp Leadership and Summer Camp Sports Coaches may meet at a centrally convenient location for morning pick-ups.

Role and Responsibilities
Mentoring players to develop sportsmanship and respect for the game.
Planning and leading practice sessions.
Creating a safe environment designed to keep youth healthy & mitigate risks of injury.
Focus on playing fair and adhering to organization’s code of conduct.
Understanding of the rules and regulations governing the sport.
Motivating players to improve.

A TYPICAL DAY

Schedules are assigned or self-selected 1–3 days before each week; coaches work 1–2 camps/day, not exceeding 29.5 hours/week.

Arrive 30 minutes before camp starts or coordinate a ride with Camp Leadership.

Clock in using the ADP Payroll App on TSF iPads upon arrival.

Lead a group of ~25 kids and supervise Youth Coaches with support from Camp Leadership.

Follow the play-based curriculum and ensure camper safety—physically and emotionally.

Wrap up with life skills discussion, clean up, and load equipment into vans after camp.

After camp: either clock out or take a 1-hour unpaid lunch (meals may be provided).

Clock out via ADP before leaving; failure to do so defaults your time to camp end, without breakdown time included.

Preferred Education & Qualifications

Must be 18 years or older.
Must have sport-specific background as a player and/or coach.
Desire to work in a growing nonprofit organization with a strong commitment to the organization’s mission.
Adaptability, flexibility, creativity and commitment to excellence.
