What I like about being a School Wellness Leader is that you are impacting so many kids after school. Instead of being at one school you have the opportunity to be at multiple schools throughout the week leading and impacting kids. Another thing I like is being able to make my own schedule. Its a very flexible job and works with students schedules really well!
What I wish was different
There is nothing specific that I wish was different. Being a School Wellness Leader can have its challenges, but its super rewarding seeing the kids learn from the clubs and have so much fun doing it!
Advice
One piece of advice would be that don't let working with kids after school discourage you. Its a lot of fun! Majority of the times it's a team effort leading clubs and you will be well trained for leading the after school clubs.
