Hi, I'm Calder, a USF psychology senior graduating May 2027. I saw CYC's Program Coordinator opening for YAWL Work Based Learning. I keep daily tracking across three Kiddleton locations and coordinated community arts events. Could I ask you 15 minutes of questions about the role?

Subject: Question about the YAWL Work Based Learning Program Coordinator role

Hi,

I'm Calder Salisbury, a psychology senior at the University of San Francisco graduating in May 2027. I saw CYC's opening for a Program Coordinator in YAWL Work Based Learning and want to understand it before I apply.

Right now I work about 16 hours a week in operations at Kiddleton in Japan Center, where I keep daily Excel tracking across three locations and work with families and kids. Before that I coordinated logistics and outreach for community arts events in Encinitas.

I'll be honest that I'm still in school, so timing matters. Would you have 15 minutes in the next couple of weeks to tell me what the role looks like day to day and whether there's any flexibility on start date or hours?

Thank you,
Calder Salisbury

Talking points

• At Kiddleton (Oct 2025 to now) she maintains daily Excel tracking across three locations and compiles documentation and visual reports for headquarters, which maps to tracking youth participants and placements.
• As Event Coordinator for Encinitas Friends of the Arts (2022, 2023) she handled logistics and community outreach for public events, including events elevating Hispanic culture.
• At Susan Street Fine Art she coordinated several concurrent client projects, kept documentation accurate, and wrote proposals and presentations for corporate clients like a regional bank, useful for working with employer partners in a work-based learning program.

Questions to ask

• What does a typical week look like for the YAWL coordinator, and how much is direct work with youth versus coordinating with employer sites?
• Is the start date fixed, or could the role start after May 2027, or begin part-time during the spring?
• What experience or language skills have made past coordinators successful here, and what would you want a new person to learn first?
