<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://reserveinc.org/"><img class="  " title="ReServe" alt="Courtesy of ReServe Inc." src="http://reserveinc.org/images/slideshow7.jpg" width="200" height="259" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ReServe is an innovative nonprofit that matches continuing professionals age 55+ (ReServists) with organizations that need their expertise.</p></div>
<p>Do you want to give back to your community?</p>
<p>Are you looking for an opportunity to re-enter the workforce part-time?</p>
<p>Well, then you should check out <a title="Reserve Inc." href="http://reserveinc.org/" target="_blank">ReServe</a>.  ReServe  is a nonprofit that puts adults age 55 and up to work in schools, government offices, and community organizations.  It has been featured in the <a title="Nonprofit puts seniors to work helping other people  |  Boston Globe" href="http://bostonglobe.com/business/2013/01/31/pay-hour-chance-make-difference-priceless/0LM16Oyc7UGN2l0cRR1ERP/story.html" target="_blank">Boston Globe</a>.</p>
<p>As a potential ReServist, you can be matched with an organization that needs your expertise. Most positions are between 10 and 20 hours a week and last for at least three months.  ReServists get paid a $10 per hour stipend for their efforts.</p>
<p>Organizations who have gaps in their staff can register with ReServe to get the talent they need, through the <em><strong>Give Back, Fill the Gap</strong></em> program.  Or through the <em><strong>Impact Initiatives</strong></em> program ReServists can tackle issues with the community and work one on one with clients who need your skills.</p>
