Full-time

Whitehorse Nordic Centre

Join Our Team as Youth Ski Program Coordinator at the Nordic Centre!

We’re currently seeking a Youth Program Coordinator to lead our popular program for children aged 4 to 12, which welcomes around 200 young skiers each season.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for planning, coordinating, and supporting weekly lessons and activities that help children build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of skiing. You'll work closely with volunteer coaches and families to ensure a safe, fun, and well-organized experience for all participants.

If you’re organized, great with kids and volunteers, and passionate about cross-country skiing and outdoor education, we’d love to hear from you!

Position Status:

September - October 2026: Part-time (paid per hour).

November 1st, 2026 to March 31st, 2027: Full-time (40 hours/week).

April 2027: Part-time (paid per hour).

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure the health, safety, and well-being of children in the program
  • Plan and prepare for the program early in the season
  • Recruit program leaders and helpers
  • Promote and attend training sessions for new leaders/helpers (provided by Cross Country Yukon)
  • Coordinate early season training for leaders/helpers (games clinic, ski lessons, etc.)
  • Support group leaders with lesson planning and equipment setup
  • Collaborate with staff, volunteers, and participants
  • Actively participate in all program sessions, meetings, and special events
  • Coordinate rental equipment for participants
  • Serve as the main contact during group activities
  • Maintain accurate program documentation (lesson plans, group lists, communications)
  • Develop new activities and help expand the program within Whitehorse
  • Organize special activities and end-of-season events
  • Promote trail etiquette, safety rules, and teach participants to ski safely on their own
  • Complete a season-end report for the program

About You You’re a motivated and dependable leader with a strong background in cross-country skiing and youth program delivery. You thrive outdoors—even in winter weather—and are passionate about helping young athletes develop skills, confidence, and a love for the sport.

You bring:

  • Cross-country ski instructor certification (NCCP and/or CANSI)

  • Safe Sport training (Coaching Association of Canada)

  • Standard First Aid and CPR certification (training can be provided if needed)

  • Ability to provide an Enhanced Police Information Check (E-PIC) and vulnerable sector check (RCMP)

  • Experience instructing and working with youth of various ages (4-12) and ability levels

  • Previous experience in ski instruction and/or coordinating sport or recreation programs

  • Strong leadership, communication, organizational, and teamwork skills

  • Physical ability to lead ski programs multiple days (5) per week

  • Comfort being outdoors for extended periods (2 to 4 hours) in winter conditions (cut-off is -20°C)

  • Adaptability, patience, enthusiasm, and self-control

  • Proficiency in English (French or other language is an asset)

If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you help lead the next generation of skiers at the Nordic Centre!

Perks

  • Free use of the Nordic Centre facilities
  • 20% discount on Shop items
  • Training and certification available

Open to applicants across Canada.

We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and identities, however XC skiing experience is required.
