            Career We Can Supervisor

              Build Your Career. Help Build Their Future.

              At CORE, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity, support and experiences they need to build a successful future. That takes a team of people who believe in their potential.

              Our staff works alongside Scholars, families, schools and community partners to create opportunities that extend beyond the classroom — from academic support and character development to career exploration and financial literacy.

              A career at CORE is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people throughout Southern Nevada.

              We’re looking for people who bring their talents, experiences and ideas to the work; who value collaboration and community; and, most importantly, who believe in the potential of every Scholar we serve.
