** We are in need of greeters for Saturdays, 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.**
Greeters welcome visitors and introduce them to the Heritage Center's historical exhibits and art gallery. Greeters also offer information about the Jefferson School City Center facilities, such as directions to classrooms and to other tenant organizations. It is expected that greeters will spend time learning about the history of the Jefferson School though at-home and on-the-job reading. Greeters are encouraged to attend events (films, lectures, musical performances, etc.) at the Heritage Center.
Greeters may be asked to complete certain small clerical tasks such as stuffing envelopes.
