Do you love skating, working with kids, and helping people discover just how much fun the ice can be? Come skate with us!

We’re looking for enthusiastic, patient, and encouragingLearn to Skate Instructors to introduce skaters of all ages and abilities to the ice.

From those first wobbly steps to confident glides, stops, and crossovers, you’ll help create a safe, positive, and FUN first experience on the ice—and maybe inspire a lifelong love of skating along the way!
