for each heading only if there is real content. Do not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.

- "Salary Description $17.00 - $20.00" (duplicate of pay range)
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which content goes where.
"About the role": likely the introductory description about the role (first paragraph). Could also include "You May Be The Right Fit If You Are ..."? That seems like qualifications/requirements. But we have separate sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to map.
We have "Requirements" list: Must be at least 16 years old and a high school senior, or age 18 or older; Experience working with middle school-aged youth ... preferred; Ability to engage and build positive relationships; Strong communication and interpersonal skills; Dependable, responsible, and able to serve as a positive role model; Ability to work effectively as part of a team and follow YMCA supervision, safety, and youth protection requirements.
We have "Qualifications": maybe the "You May Be The Right Fit If You Are ..." list: at least 16 years old and a high school senior; enjoy working with middle school-aged youth; energetic, dependable, responsible; serve as positive role model; comfortable helping lead activities; communicate well; work effectively as part of a team; previous experience working with youth (preferred but not required). This overlaps with requirements. But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep both sets, but we can combine if they are similar? However we must not lose info. Could put them under Requirements and Qualifications respectively, even if overlapping. That's okay.
"Skills": maybe the skills like communication, interpersonal, teamwork, etc. Could be separate.
"Benefits": list: Free YMCA individual membership; Discounted YMCA family membership; 12% YMCA retirement contribution upon eligibility; A fun, supportive work environment where you can make a meaningful impact in your community.
"Pay": pay range $17.00 - $20.00/hour, based on experience.
"Schedule": part time up to 10 hours each week; regular shifts Monday and Wednesday 2:30pm - 7:00pm.
"About the role": maybe the initial description: "Make a difference for middle school youth! The Summit Area YMCA is looking for energetic, dependable Teen Program Staff to support programs and activities specifically designed for middle school-aged youth. In this role, you'll help create a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where participants can connect with peers, build confidence, develop new skills, and have fun. Teen Program Staff actively engage with participants and help facilitate recreational, enrichment, social, and leadership activities while serving as positive role models. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with youth and wants to gain experience in youth development and programming. High school seniors who meet the position requirements are encouraged to apply."
"Responsibilities": the "What You’ll Do" list.
"Qualifications": maybe the "You May Be The Right Fit If You Are ..." list.
"Skills": maybe the abilities like communication, interpersonal, teamwork, etc. Could be extracted from requirements.
But we need to avoid thin sections. We could combine Qualifications and Skills if they are thin. However we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might omit Qualifications or Skills if they'd be thin. But we need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have content for qualifications (the "You May Be The Right Fit If You Are ...") and skills (communication, interpersonal, teamwork). So we could include both.
But we must ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content.
Thus we will output:
About the role
... (the intro paragraph)
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet from "What You’ll Do"
Requirements
- ... each bullet from Requirements list
Qualifications
- ... each bullet from "You May Be The Right Fit If You Are ..." list
Skills
- ... maybe combine communication, interpersonal, teamwork, etc. But we already have those in Requirements and Qualifications. Could extract distinct skills: Strong communication and interpersonal skills; Ability to work effectively as part of a team; Ability to engage and build positive relationships; Dependable, responsible; Serve as positive role model; Comfortable helping lead activities; etc. However that duplicates. Might be better to omit Skills section to avoid thin duplication. But we need to preserve all substantive info; if we omit Skills, we still have that info in Requirements and Qualifications. So we can skip Skills.
Similarly, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't include headings for empty sections.
Now we need to format lists.
Let's extract content precisely.
About the role paragraph: Combine sentences:
