Program Aide / Athletics Coordinator

About the Role

Hamlin Robinson School (HRS) ignites the academic and creative potential of students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Since 1983, we have been Washington’s only non-profit school dedicated exclusively to these students’ unique academic and social-emotional needs. We believe every child deserves a learning environment where they feel safe, understood, and empowered. With small class sizes (1:15 teacher-student ratio) and a structured, multisensory approach, students gain confidence and a sense of ownership over their learning through meaningful moments of authentic success.
