Looking for a Few Good Boomers

Are you retired or semi-retired? Do you still want to work but not full time? How about a job that is meaningful, flexible, and surrounded by good people? Can you motivate people to get results? Read on!

How about a 15- hour work week with paid time off? And while good pay is involved, this is not a job intended to pay all of your bills. Think about becoming involved with an organization that has very high standards and is nationally recognized as a leader in many ways.

Who are we? We are a dozen or so paid staff (smart, fun, helpful, hard-working, multi-generational). We are 300 older adults who serve as volunteer tutors and 25 full time AmeriCorps members dedicating a year of service to Boston. We are part of a wonderful national network called Experience Corps. And did I mention the 3400 Boston children and their families who benefit from our many literacy programs? We are Generations Incorporated, Boston's host to Experience Corps.

What's the job? We call it Part-Time Program Manager. You'll oversee operations at two of our service sites (either a school or an after school program).

Our's is a fast-paced learning environment. We work together in mutual respect as a team. And we are looking for 3 good boomers.

Interested? Email Helen Garretson, Director of Programs: hgarretson@generationsinc.org or call her at 617-399-4660. Visit our website to learn more: http://www.generationsinc.org/.
