Now, whenever I have HAD a presentation, its gone astoundingly well and a majority of those present decide to sign up at the end. BUT, the hardest part of the whole process is just getting the chance in the first place.
School Principals are non-compliant douchebags, directors of Boys and Girls Clubs are self-centered and unmotivated twats, and city council members are bureaucratic sloths.
It's no wonder so many kids never get to experience camp, or get a chance to leave the slums for a while, or receive the attention and care that they all crave for and need to develop into a self-confidant individual.
Administrators are jacked.

Anyhow, that actually sounds like an interesting job aside from dealing with douchery but most jobs you do.
Know if they have any openings?
