Career Openings
Thank you for visiting our Career Openings page. This is the first step in us getting to know each other better. Because you have high moral character and a great work ethic, we know you would want to be around the same type of people and if you become a part of our team, you will. Three Treasures was founded on Kung Fu values and ethics. Though not a requirement, it is highly recommended that you actually train Kung Fu with us or have at least a few years experience in a traditional martial art prior to applying. It would be misleading to the families in our program who are attracted to our Kung Fu values if any of our staff are not strong role models for youths.

Salary: $2,500 a month to start;
We reserve the right to amend or eliminate this position at any time to fit our current organizational goals and budget.
Description: Under the supervision of the Associate Executive Director, you are charged with launching this pilot program from the ground up. This department is key in growing our presence in the community and offers another wonderful option for families who may not have the means to afford our Youth Mentorship Program but would still like to be a part of Three Treasures. What will set our program apart is our emphasis on reflective thinking during the students' journey. We would like to avoid a highly competitive environment that will negative impact students who may be more shy or introverted. You will convey to your staff, coaches, and volunteers that we are using sports to bring out the best in our kids. One thing that will stand out about our leagues is that game play will stop once a goal or point is scored and all the teammates are encouraged to come over and hi-five the player that just scored as well as the player that set up that goal or point. Hence, our kids league will be called "Three Treasures High-Five League." In addition to youth sports, you will also start an adult recreational basketball, flag football, and badminton league as well as create an annual tournament for each. As we grow your department, your duties will expand beyond scheduling and recruiting coaches and volunteers to include staff management, budget management, and promotions. You will also work in tandem with the Special Projects Director to promote this department throughout the communities of each of our sites. Each school site will have its own "mini-league" as well as a larger one to serve the greater community. Along with the Special Projects Director, you will both create annual family picnics and other fun events for all our families to come together to celebrate friendship.
Ideal Candidate: As our ideal candidate, you will love starting a program from scratch that has your name written all over it. Your entrepreneurial instincts will get a great workout and you will go home feeling great about the work you are doing.
