Youth Skateboarding Coach Part Time

THE SKATESIDE is hiring dependable, responsible Youth Skateboarding Coaches for our children's programs throughout Los Angeles.

About the role

This is a coaching job where you teach structured lessons, demonstrate skills, manage groups, maintain safety, communicate professionally with parents and school staff, and help children build confidence. Basic skateboarding proficiency is required, but you do not need to be an advanced or competitive skateboarder. We prioritize maturity, dependability, and the ability to work well with kids.

Typical school-year programs run Monday–Friday between approximately 2:00–5:00 PM, with most individual shifts lasting 1.5–2 hours. You choose the days that consistently work for you, but once you accept a recurring program, we count on you to be there every week for the duration of that program. Additional hours may be available through camps, weekend programs, private lessons, and special events.
