Dear SSA Alumni,

Have you found yourself with time on your hands this fall? Are you living in Pittsburgh and looking for a résumé building opportunity? Would you like to lend a hand and support SSA faculty and coaches?

We are reaching out to offer a unique internship opportunity at Shady Side's four campuses. Our faculty and coaches could use your help. There are times throughout the day on each campus when an extra set of hands would make things much easier. By signing up you'll have the chance to interact with our students regularly, spend some time away from Zoom, have fun and give back. In the end, an internship like this could fill that hole you are concerned about on your résumé, give some meaningful purpose to your down time, or help obtain the recommendation letter you've been looking for. This is an unpaid opportunity with flexible days and times. Most of the work involves supervision and logistics help.

If this email has sparked your interest at all, please review the two lists below. The first includes some of the duties interns may cover at each campus. The second lists the requirements for any person interacting with students. To volunteer, or for more information, please reach out and I can talk though more details with you.
