Miss the Office Energy but Not the 9-to-5 Grind?

If you are a retired administrative professional who misses the camaraderie of an office
environment, enjoys staying active, and wants to give back to the Skokie community, we
would love to meet you!

We are looking for a welcoming, organized volunteer to help cover our administrative
desk. This is a fantastic way to utilize your hard-earned professional skills, meet new
people, and make a meaningful impact—all without the stress of a full-time corporate
job.

Location: Skokie, IL 60077 (In-Person)
Schedule: Monday through Friday 8 to 2:30pm (Flexible Schedule)

Key Responsibilities
 Be the Welcoming Face: Greet visitors and direct them with a warm,
professional demeanor.
 Stay Connected: Answer incoming phone calls and route them to the
appropriate person or department.
 Light Administrative Tasks: Assist with basic office duties such as sorting mail,
data entry, filing, or prepping materials as needed
What We Are Looking For
 Experience: A background in office administration, reception, secretarial work, or
customer service is highly preferred.
 Skills: Comfort with basic computer tasks (email, simple data entry) and a
pleasant phone manner.
 Traits: Reliable, friendly, and enthusiastic about helping others.

Why Volunteer With Us?
 Give Back Locally: Directly support an organization making a difference right
here in the 60077 area.
 Socialize & Connect: Break up your routine, get out of the house, and chat with
a great team and community members.

 Total Flexibility: We value your time and will work with you to find a schedule
that fits your retirement lifestyle.

75 Years - One Brilliant Story

Throughout our anniversary year, we’ll be highlighting important “chapters” of this story that make up the rich history and legacy of Shore Community Services, and our community’s commitment to inclusion over 75 years!

This week’s chapter features Shore School, which by 1960 was holding classes in the basement of the Bethlehem Lutheran School in Evanston. At the time, Shore was one of 43 organizations in the state providing educational services to children with developmental disabilities, when the field of special education was still very new. There were an estimated 150,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities in Illinois at that time.

Today, Shore serves over 200 children and adults in an array of programs, and there are approximately 600,000 people in the state with IDD. Each year, more than 40,000 children receive special education services in public schools.

Pizza Party! Individuals from the Life In Motion - Your Choice Program wanted to learn how to make pizza so Tanashua Slaton, Developmental Activities Trainer, planned a cooking class. Each individual helped with the assembly of the ingredients from the crust, sauce, cheese and pepperoni for those who like it. The best part was eating the finished product.

75th Anniversary Appeal
Respect, Opportunity, Dignity - Not just words but a promise since 1951.

Patty was Shore’s first student because there were no schools, no services, and no real opportunities for children like her.

To me, she was just my sister. We grew up side by side. But I remember when I first noticed the way people looked at her. The stares. The silence.

Even then, I knew it wasn’t right. So my mother created something better.

That small classroom became Shore, now serving individuals and families for more than 75 years.

Help us continue this work to support others like Patty. Give by June 30, 2026.

In appreciation,

Dan Lloyd
