• Support students individually and in small groups with mindfulness practice, emotional awareness, expressive arts, communication, conflict navigation, and relationship skills.
• Approach students with cultural responsiveness and humility, remaining sensitive and attuned to diverse identities, lived experiences, family backgrounds, communities, and conditions.
• Aid in classroom community-building and model restorative approaches to communication and conflict.
• Collaborate with MSTG teaching staff to support student well-being and a positive classroom environment.
• Participate in regular training, professional development, coaching, and reflective practice with the SEL Director.
• Complete a brief daily facilitator log documenting lessons, student engagement, notable observations, and areas for follow-up.

Who We're Looking For

• Warmth, reliability, emotional maturity, strong communication skills, and genuine interest in supporting young people.
