• Help organize an activity or special event
• Encourage kids to try something new
• Help young people solve problems and work together
• Support your coworkers in keeping programs organized and running smoothly

You don't need to know how to do all of these things on your first day. We'll help you learn.

• Work that gets you out from behind a desk
• Experience to strengthen a college application or resume
• Nonprofit or community-service experience
• Leadership and teamwork experience
• A way to stay active and connected after retirement
• Supplemental income while still doing something worthwhile
