Unfortunately, I have no prior experience working at a museum. I do, however, currently volunteer
as a soccer referee for AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization). I also
volunteered for two years as an Assistant Soccer Coach through the same
organization. I obtained these positions through my previous connections with
officials and coaches while playing under the organization when younger. Required
certification (e.g., first aid/cpr) were needed for both positions, which were
provided through the organization. Also, I currently serve as an on-call assistant
referee for DARSL (Davis Adult Recreation Soccer League) during certain days of
the week where I get paid by the game.
