5 Overall Experience   
Very rewarding experience

I was a volunteer in this position for 2 years and now work here as a Job Coach in the Career Development Dept! I loved teaching the Computer Courses - the members are so willing to learn new skills. I also learned a lot from the members and have made lifetime friends. A new computer center is being built to accomodate the number of members who want to learn computer skills. I would encourage anyone with the time and knowledge to take advantage of this awesome opportunity. posted by ke123h on July 26, 2007
