Description:
The Loppet Foundation is searching for Junior Loppet Assistant Coaches. The Junior Loppet program is a year-round, after-school program that empowers Minneapolis middle schoolers through healthy outdoor activities like cross country skiing, mountain biking, trail running, orienteering, and paddling. We focus on partnering with middle schools with most of the school population eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch. The program occurs 2-3 days per week after school and throughout the summer. Students also participate in events, races, and weekend camping, and training trips. The program uses outdoor adventure to help middle schoolers build healthy habits; social and emotional skills; and personal connections that promote success both on and off the trails.
Qualifications:
- Applicants with previous experience coaching or working with children and adolescents are preferred. Additional preferred skills are: biking, running, skiing, and canoeing knowledge.
