After-School Assistant Program Director - Flushing ,Queens
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
First paragraph: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for role description. The first paragraph about organization could be part of "About the role" or maybe separate "About the organization". But only allowed headings are listed. We can put organization description under "About the role" as prose.
Then: "The Assistant Program Director (APD) supports the Program Director in managing daily operations and ensuring safe, high-quality programming. The APD supervises staff, helps monitor compliance, and maintains effective communication with all stakeholders. In addition to supporting program operations, the APD serves as the site’s Inclusion Coordinator, ensuring that all participants—including those with disabilities and English Language Learners (ELLs)—receive appropriate accommodations and have equitable access to all program services. The APD works closely with the Associate Vice President of Youth Development, School-Based Wellness Programming (AVP of YD SBMH) to access guidance, resources, and training that strengthen inclusion and behavioral health supports."
That's responsibilities.
Then there are subheadings: "Program Operations and Leadership", "Inclusion Coordination and Participant Support", "Staff Development and Communication", "Family and Community Engagement". Those are more detailed responsibilities. We can combine under Responsibilities as list items.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Those go under Requirements? Actually we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping.
We have Minimum Qualifications (Associate's degree etc) and Preferred Qualifications (Bachelor's etc, bilingual). Those could go under Qualifications (maybe split into Minimum and Preferred). Or we could put under Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). The instructions: Use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to allocate content accordingly.
We have:
- About the role: organization overview + role purpose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (program operations, inclusion coordination, staff development, family engagement).
- Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications (Associate's degree, 3 years experience, skills etc).
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications (Bachelor's, bilingual).
- Skills: maybe specific skills like Microsoft Office, data entry, organizational, communication, interpersonal.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not provided, so we should NOT include those sections.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
We must not include empty sections.
Now format: Use for each heading. Then content: For prose use
. For lists use
- .
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract details.
About the role: The Child Center of NY strengthens children and families with skills, opportunities, and emotional support to build healthy, successful lives. Founded in 1953, The Child Center of NY has become a powerful community presence throughout the city. With 50 locations and 100 programs in NYC’s most under-served communities, our 1,000+ results-oriented professionals make a difference for more than 40,000 children and their families each year. The Assistant Program Director (APD) supports the Program Director in managing daily operations and ensuring safe, high-quality programming. The APD supervises staff, helps monitor compliance, and maintains effective communication with all stakeholders. In addition to supporting program operations, the APD serves as the site’s Inclusion Coordinator, ensuring that all participants—including those with disabilities and English Language Learners (ELLs)—receive appropriate accommodations and have equitable access to all program services. The APD works closely with the Associate Vice President of Youth Development, School-Based Wellness Programming (AVP of YD SBMH) to access guidance, resources, and training that strengthen inclusion and behavioral health supports.
That's a lot; we can keep as prose.
Responsibilities: We have bullet-like sections:
Program Operations and Leadership
- Assist in planning, implementing, and monitoring program activities to ensure goals align with agency mission and participant needs.
- Support staff scheduling, supervision, and program logistics.
- Maintain a visible presence throughout program hours to ensure safety, engagement, and quality of service.
- Observe programming, provide coaching and feedback, and help ensure compliance with all agency and DYCD requirements.
Inclusion Coordination and Participant Support
- Serve as Inclusion Coordinator to help participants, families, and staff identify and access tools and resources—including those provided by DYCD—to address special needs.
- Develop and manage Individualized Accommodation Plans for participants, and maintain Student Behavioral Support Plans and Logs.
- Coordinate directly provided services (e.g., paraprofessionals for students with disabilities, bilingual staff for ELLs) and indirect supports (e.g., referrals to NYCPS professionals for screening or diagnosis).
- Communicate with DYCD about specialized supports (e.g., paraprofessionals, nurses, or transportation) that extend beyond the program’s reasonable accommodation capacity.
- Collaborate with The Child Center’s Behavioral Health Division, AVP of YD SBMH Programming, school partners, and community providers to ensure integrated, inclusive support for all youth.
Staff Development and Communication
- Support the Program Director in onboarding, training, and coaching staff to implement inclusive practices and behavior support strategies.
- Participate in and model professional development activities focused on inclusion, equity, and trauma-informed care, with support from the AVP of YD SBMH Programming as needed.
- Promote positive communication and collaboration among staff, families, and school teams.
Family and Community Engagement
- Communicate regularly with families about student needs, accommodations, and progress.
- Collaborate with school-based partners and community organizations to strengthen access to specialized services.
- Support the planning and facilitation of family and community events that highlight inclusive practices and celebrate diversity.
We need to put these as list items under Responsibilities. Could be a single
- with all items, or separate
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid multiple lists. We'll just make one
- containing all items.
Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications:
- Associate’s Degree or equivalent experience required; Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Social Work, or related field preferred.
- Minimum 3 years of experience working with youth in educational or community settings.
- Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
- Experience supporting children and youth with disabilities and/or English Language Learners.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and basic data entry systems.
We need to preserve all details. Note that "Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Social Work, or related field preferred." is part of first bullet. We'll keep as is.
Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Social Work, Psychology, or related field.
- Bilingual in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Bengali, Haitian Creole, or other languages relevant to the community.
Now Skills: Could be derived from requirements: Strong organizational, communication, interpersonal skills; proficiency in Microsoft Office and basic data entry; experience supporting children with disabilities/ELLs; etc. But we already have those in Requirements. However we need a Skills section if we have specific skill content not covered elsewhere. The instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we can include Skills if we have content. We could list skills like: Organizational skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, Microsoft Office proficiency, data entry, etc. However those are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could omit Skills section if no unique content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. Since skills are already covered in Requirements, we could still include Skills but would be duplicative. Better to omit Skills to avoid thin sections. However we need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info. If we omit Skills, we still have the skills mentioned in Requirements. That's fine.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that.
Now output HTML fragment.
