Many students, newly graduates, and people who want to change their career paths will find that working at a non-profit organization is an ideal way to experience a variety of tasks, roles, and responsibilities.

Senior Citizens, who have retired and still want to lead an active life will find that working (at their own pace) for a non-profit can be a rich and rewarding experience, whether mentoring youth or facing the challenges of new routines and cultures.

For housewives, volunteering at CRSMM will be a stress-free opportunity to have an active life or return slowly and incrementally  to active life or the job market without prejudices to their basic duties.

With the help of a mentor, each volunteer will decide monthly about the tasks and the time needed for his volunteering and together they will work closely to determine the targets.
