DD Got Volunteer Job!

As an assistant camp counselor for the day camps at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Museum in Balboa Park! OMG! What she had to go through to get this 'job' was as much as she would have had to to get a real paid position -- application, 2.5 hour oriention and 2 hours of training today.

She'll only work 1 or 2 weeks (about 20 hours each week) but it will fulfill her volunteer/service requirement for school for her sophmore year and then we won't have to worry about it again until next summer. To me, that's the best part of the whole deal.

She's pretty excited! The Fleet Center is a pretty cool place and most every student in San Diego County has been to at least one (usually two) field trips at the Fleet Science Center during their grade school years.

I hope it turns out to be a good experience for her.

sounds like a terrific opportunity for her, and it opens her chances of getting the same thing for next year to knock that one out, too.

Good for her! The science museum near us is one of the favorite HS volunteer spots - and having all those volunteers around makes a trip to the museum so much fun for me and DS7!

HOpe she enjoys it!

That's wonderful. It not only sounds like a great way to get those volunteer hours but also will look good on resumes and college apps plus she might even have some fun.
