Applicants are required to complete two background checks, an application (contact information only), have a Tuberculosis screen (free of charge with our Employee Health nurse) and during flu season have a current flu vaccination (provided at no charge when requested). 

Perks include invitations to our volunteer-only Christmas lunch/party and Appreciation lunch at Riverside Golf Club, free soda, tea or coffee during shift, voucher for up lunch (to a limit) when working during weekday shift around lunchtime, 10% off Gift Shop purchases and a fun, friendly, family environment!
