Lead Crossing Guard / Safety Coordinator

You've been promoted from standing at one intersection to managing every intersection in the zone. You train new guards, handle scheduling, deal with angry parents who think their kid's crosswalk should have priority, and coordinate with the school district on safety plans. It's still part-time, still outdoors, and you still wear the vest — but now you're the one people call when a guard doesn't show up or a new construction detour scrambles the routes.
