The Family Programs Amphitheater Coordinator is a member of the Education and Visitor Experience department and reports to the Manager of Family Programs.
This is an on-call position. From early July through mid-August 2020, the Family Programs Amphitheater Coordinator will work approximately 20 hours per/week.
