Galileo Learning’s mission is to develop innovators who envision and create a better world.
We provide out-of-school enrichment programs that build innovation skills, growth mindset, and creative confidence across a variety of offerings. We run neighborhood summer day camps for families, deliver expanded learning programs for school districts, and empower educational institutions and service providers with curriculum and instructional support.
We bring our mission to life through the Galileo Innovation Approach (GIA): combining mindset, process, and knowledge to drive meaningful outcomes for students and for each other. This shows up in how we collaborate, make decisions, and continuously improve our work.
We are:
Visionary: We think beyond what exists today and work toward what’s possible.
Courageous: We take ownership, make decisions with imperfect information, and lean into challenges.
Collaborative: We work across teams and perspectives, assuming positive intent and building strong partnerships.
Determined: We follow through, hold a high bar for quality, and stay focused on delivering results that matter for our students and partners
Reflective: We learn from experience, use data and feedback to improve, and continuously evolve how we work.
We operate with a high level of ownership and care for our work, our partners, and each other.
The Director of Training and Program Enablement is responsible for the design, content, and delivery of training for Galileo’s camp program, including Camp Directors and all camp teams.
This role focuses on execution and effectiveness. You will translate operational priorities into clear, usable training and resources that enable teams to run high-quality, safe, and consistent camp experiences.
You will own training content and delivery end-to-end, while partnering cross-functionally to ensure alignment with broader program priorities. You will collaborate closely with the Education Product team as they develop learning architecture and large-scale learning systems, coordinate with cross-functional subject matter experts to ensure their expertise is represented throughout our trainings and resources, and continuously iterate and improve training design and delivery in order to best serve our Field teams, camp leadership, and camp staff.
This role reports to the VP of National Field Operations and partners closely with Field Operations, Educational Product, and the People Team.
Why This Role Matters
This role directly impacts the quality and consistency of the camp experience and how we bring our mission to life. We achieve that mission when camp teams are equipped to create experiences that build innovation skills, foster a growth mindset, and inspire creative confidence in every camper.
