Since 1876, The Boys' Club of New York (BCNY) has been partnering with boys and young men in after-school, weekend, and summer programs that support youth growth and development. BCNY's two well-equipped clubhouses in East Harlem and Flushing and its wilderness camp in Harriman State Park offer activities and programs remarkable in their range. From swimming to robotics and enjoying ice skating in Central Park and a trip to the theatre on Saturdays, BCNY programs and events deepen interests and skills and are free of charge to members and their families.
With the increase in youth directly impacted by the shelter and homelessness crisis in New York City, BCNY is dedicated to increasing equitable access to its free, high-quality youth programs that foster brave spaces where boys and young men can connect, have fun, and build lifelong friendships with peers and mentors. Part of that mission is our commitment to BCNY's expansion sites in the Bronx and Brooklyn that engage members within their communities with the same youth-centered ethos the organization is known for. Our dedicated and highly skilled staff and our professional advisory council have made BCNY a leader in youth programming across the field, and we invite you to join our team as we partner with boys and young men as they journey through their childhoods and our clubhouses.
The Aquatics Director will oversee all waterfront-related activities at BCNY Harriman Basecamp, ensuring the safety and quality of all aquatic programs, including swimming, boating, and watercraft activities.

The Aquatics Director will play a key role in staff training, emergency procedures, and daily waterfront operations.
The waterfront at Harriman State Park features a swimming dock with a 3ft deep crib, a deep end roped to a floating dock, and a 30ft long beach equipped with canoes and kayaks.
