Become a Crossing Guard!

Make a difference in your community & help children safely come and go from school. Part-time hours make this an excellent choice for retirees, students, parents, or anyone seeking additional income alongside their other commitments.

Crossing guards typically work 10-15 hours per week, morning and afternoon shifts, Monday through Friday during the academic year. All school breaks are off (summer, winter and spring breaks). Permanent guards qualify for paid holidays, earned sick leave, clothing allowance, and an annual Metro bus pass. Substitute crossing guards work as needed based on their availabilities. All help is welcomed! Job openings are posted online - City of Madison Human Resources - Employment Opportunities.
