About the Job

The Community Activation Team is looking for competitive, high-energy coaches to take the field across Los Angeles.

As a member of the Community Activation Team, you’ll be running youth football camps at elementary and middle schools throughout the South Bay and South LA — putting students through reps, teaching the game, and representing the organization on the ground where it matters most. If you’ve played the game, love to coach it, and want to be part of an organization building something real in the community, this role is for you.

The Community Activation team role is a part-time role with the Community staff responsible for executing approximately 75 activations across the 2026–27 school year. You’ll report directly to Community staff and serve as a front-line representative at every event.
