  • A willingness to learn, accept feedback, and grow professionally.
  • A high school diploma or GED required; college coursework is a plus.
  • Must be at least 18 years old and legally authorized to work in the United States.
  • Flexibility to work occasional evenings, weekends, and special events.

Previous experience in customer service, retail, hospitality, sales, events, volunteer programs, fundraising, or nonprofit organizations is helpful but not required.

  • Immediate full-time employment opportunities.
