SBJSA is seeking motivated, well rounded, team players to instruct and mentor the next generation of sailors. Candidates must have a strong passion for sailing, teaching, and working with all ages - especially ages 6-18.​

​

Our annual staff at Sodus Bay Junior Sailing Association comprises 10-13 paid positions and 2-4 unpaid training positions (Counselors in Training). Other than our Program Director and Assistant Program Director, all summer positions are seasonal between approximately the 3rd week of June through the middle of August. We also hire part-time instructors to teach our Fall and Spring sailing programs on the weekends.

​

Our instructors are paid by the hour. Pay rates are competitive and primarily based on an applicant’s experience, credentials, and interview. Although exceptions are sometimes made, our general policy is that a person seeking employment at SBJSA must reach age 17 by June 15th of the year they begin employment as a paid staff member with us. Please also note that employment at SBJSA is on an at-will basis.

​

Our Counselors-in-training (CITs) go through a robust CIT Training program led by experienced instructors.

​

Our entire staff works as a team to provide an enriched learning experience for all program attendees at SBJSA. Our staff and the programs taught are the primary reason youth and families return for multiple years and generations to be a part of the SBJSA family.

​​

We are excited that you are interested in a role on our team. See the links for our expectations, application process, and requirements.​​​​
