Activity Helpers are individuals who assist in organizing, facilitating, and supervising recreational, educational, or therapeutic activities in various settings such as schools, community centers, care homes, or camps. They support leaders or coordinators by preparing materials, setting up equipment, and engaging participants to ensure everyone is involved and safe. Activity Helpers play a key role in making activities enjoyable and accessible, often working with children, the elderly, or people with special needs.
