Responsibilities:
- Plan 1 activity per drop-in OR facilitate a weekly interest-based activity in the drop-in (ex. Weekly chess club, art station, etc.).

Time Commitment:
- Drop-ins run from 3:30-6pm, 2x per week after school at each drop-in across the city. We would love you to be at as many as you are comfortable with. Our preference would be at least one day a week, but this is negotiable.
