Transportation Needed for 5-year old child (Arlington, MA)

Posted on by

We are seeking someone to pick up our 5yo son from his school in East Arlington at 2:30pm and drop him off at home, also in East Arlington, at 5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During those hours the primary responsibility is transporting him to weekly events in Burlington and Lexington, so access to a car and a good driving record are essential. 
During the time not absorbed by travel and events, he enjoys going to libraries and arts and crafts. He’s generally a happy, bright, friendly, and slightly silly guy! 
Hourly salary in the range of $32-36/hr depending on level of experience, we will reimburse for mileage and parking costs.

Library Workshop (Medford)

Posted on by

 University College is looking for people interested in hosting a 1 hour workshop for middle schoolers at the new Medford Public Library on Wednesdays.

All volunteer opportunities are from 1-2pm EST, located at the Medford Library (111 High Street). At least one member of the University College Team will be assigned to each date, and will coordinate with you ahead of your chosen date.


Student participants are in grades 5-8. We will cap the sessions at 50 students (we expect 30-50 to attend), but the room capacity is 100 – so there is some space to spread out. The room has projector/audio, flat floor, long tables and chairs.


Ideally, workshops are as hands-on as possible, but with minimal supplies. Examples include: 

  • A session on social media/marketing where students sketch their own social post
  • An engineering session where students make paper planes and learn about aerodynamics
