In December and May we put on up to ten Economic Summits for thousands of High School Students to compete as "Economic Advisors" for different countries around the world. These Summit games require thousands of pieces that must be assembled beforehand and organized afterwards. We can use anyone aged 12 to 100 who enjoys sorting and organizing. Activities are similar to filing - sitting in one place, and very minimal lifting required. It is helpful if you can commit to 2 hours minimum.
