follow along with our adventures
You’ll get soaked at the pool, dry off in the sun, hit up the playground, run around at the gym, eat pizza and scarf
down your fill of ice cream. Better still, you’ll make new friends, maybe even for a lifetime. Working for NSSRA is
more than a job. We’ll pay you to play, yes, but we’re pretty confident you’ll close the summer with some of the best
experiences of your life. Apply today at www.nssra.org/jobs. Know someone who would be a great addition
to the team this summer? Send 'em our way!
Hear it from the best: Meet Cole & Katherine!
Cole, Inclusion Companion
What surprised you about your role when you
first started? I was surprised to find out just how in
need NSSRA is for Inclusion companions. In some of my
assignments, that child would not have been able to be in
that class if I had not been able to help out. It is so fulfilling
to be in a job where you know that, through your work,
you are making a positive impact on your community.
What’s challenging about your job? Being an Inclusion companion, I have gotten to
meet new kids who are all unique. It is a challenge, but a fun one, to learn about the kid I’m
assigned to and to figure out how I can best help them.
What’s your favorite memory so far? For my first assignment, I was assigned to an ice
skating class. I have no clue how to ice skate, so the child I was with was actually teaching
me how to skate! We had a lot of fun and it was a new experience for me.
What advice would you have for someone who’s just joined #teamnssra? Don’t be
nervous. It can be scary your first day with a new assignment, but the families and their
children are extremely grateful for your help. Everyone at NSSRA is friendly, and they all
want you to succeed so that everyone that NSSRA helps can succeed .
Katherine, Program
Assistant
How long have you
been with NSSRA, and
why did you apply?
I started working with
NSSRA in 2013 as an
Inclusion Companion for
a few years until I went to
college. I came back last
year for the summer, and now mostly work on
the weekends. I applied because I was a peer
mentor in high school and a lot of my friends
worked for NSSRA. When I was away from
NSSRA, I missed the people.
What’s your favorite memory so far? Seeing
individuals do new activities that they might not
have done before, smiling and laughing.
