About the Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5. We are doing something about it.

The Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to eradicating childhood drowning through high-quality 1:1 private swim instruction community outreach and water safety education. Big Kahuna Swim Academy is our swim school and the heartbeat of everything we do. Since 2015 we have taught over 25000 swim lessons across our Norco and Riverside locations serving 800 lessons per month during our busy season. Approximately 30% of our student base are special needs students with a strong emphasis on autistic learners a population we are deeply proud to serve.

We are small scrappy and mission-driven. We are not a corporate swim chain. We are a grassroots nonprofit building something that matters and we are looking for people who want to help us build it.

This Is Not Just a Job

We are not hiring to fill a shift. We are hiring for the long haul people who want to grow with this organization contribute to its mission and help us expand from a boutique local nonprofit into one that reaches thousands of children across the state and eventually the nation.

If you are looking for something to tide you over until something better comes along this is not the right fit. If you are looking for a place where your work saves lives your effort is noticed and your growth is intentional keep reading.

What We Value

We hire for character and work ethic first. Skill can be taught. The following cannot:

Reliability You show up you follow through and you communicate when something changes. Early is on time. On time is late.
Coachability You receive feedback without defensiveness and implement it immediately. You see correction as investment not criticism.
Emotional Maturity You bring calm positive energy. You assume good intent. You address concerns directly rather than letting them fester or spread.
Initiative You notice what needs to be done and do it without being asked. You bring solutions not just problems.
Mission Alignment You genuinely care about why we exist. The children and families we serve are not just clients they are the reason we come to work every day.

A Note on Seasonality

This position is seasonal in nature. Our busiest months are May through September and our slowest months are October through April. During the off-season hours may be reduced organization-wide. Team members who build strong relationships with their families and students and bring in more clients tend to maintain more consistent hours year-round our high performers. With that in mind we ask that you be in a financial position to sustain a potential reduction in hours during our slower months and have a plan in place for that season.

What You Can Expect From Us

A mission that matters and work that is never meaningless
A team that holds each other to a high standard and supports each other in meeting it
Clear expectations honest feedback and a culture of growth
The opportunity to be part of building something from the ground up
A leader who is invested in your development and committed to this mission for the long haul

ABOUT THIS APPLICATION

Were not always hiring for one specific role. Were hiring for the right people.

We have a number of part-time and fractional roles available likely the best fit for a generalist who is flexible and mission-minded rather than a seasoned specialist given our nonprofit pay scale. Roles span a wide range of functions including:

Client communications & front-office support
Data entry recordkeeping & filing systems
Social media content scheduling & basic design
Event planning & logistics
Community engagement & outreach
Recruiting coordination & candidate management
Swim instruction (private 1:1 lessons)
Executive assistance & CEO support
General admin & operational support

If you believe in the mission show up for the people around you and want to be part of building something that genuinely saves childrens lives we want to hear from you.

What we can offer beyond a paycheck is meaningful work. Every hour you contribute directly supports our mission to prevent childhood drowning one child at a time.

This is not a place for people looking for a job to pass the time. This is a place for people who want to be somewhere on purpose.

WHO WERE LOOKING FOR

We hire for character first. Skill can be taught.

The right candidate:

Is reliable early is on time; they prepare before being asked and follow through without reminders
Is coachable they implement feedback immediately without defensiveness or excuses
Has emotional maturity they assume good intent dont gossip and address concerns directly
Shows initiative they notice what needs doing and step in without being asked
Is mission-driven theyre not just looking for any job; they care about why CDPF exists

Experience working with special needs populations including autism sensory processing differences and developmental delays is a major plus. If this part of our mission excites you we especially want to hear from you.
