BECOME A COORDINATOR

A BoomerAge Coordinator is a local member who can devote a minimum of 20 hours per month toward researching, locating and coordinating activities within a designated area. (This will be dependent upon the city/town/state that you live in. In more populated areas, this range will be different than in rural areas.) You can add to your income, work from home and have fun meeting new people and discovering new places. What could be better than that? Want details?.

How can I become a BoomerAge Coordinator in my area?

What does a BoomerAge Coordinator do?

A Coordinator: Listens to the BoomerAge clients in the area to find out what sorts of activities are wanted.

We will supply you with a list of suggestions from people from your area obtained from the information fed into our web page. You can also ask participants, at arranged events, to fill out a short survey (supplied by us) about activities in which they would like to participate.

Scouts out locations where those activities can happen and makes arrangements with the location's owner/manager for group meetings when necessary.

Many activities will not need to have anything other than a prearranged meeting time and place which will be posted on the web site, which you will supply to central office. For example, if a group wants to go to a particular movie, the times and dates when your BoomerAge groups can meet will be published on the site. Perhaps some would like to go to dinner together first. You would scout out a restaurant, near the movie theater, and speak with the owner/manager about the size of the group they can handle. If you have a particularly large group, they may not be able to accommodate that many people, or perhaps they might need a different night, say during the early part of the week when they are not as busy. Instructions and helpful hints will be included in your Coordinator?s Packet when you sign up.

Reports back to the home office the types of activities with their locations so that they can be listed on the web page.

The web page will be the source of listings for the activities in your area. You do not have to do any computer work. Your job is to find out what people want to do and where they can get together to do it. Then, all you have to do is to report that back to the central office. We do the rest.

Will I have to do a lot of traveling?

The amount of traveling you do is up to you. If you live in a large metropolitan area, you can probably do most of your scouting in a relatively small area, say between 20-30 miles. However, if you live in a rural area, obviously your options will be more limited, and you may have to scout a larger area (50-100 miles) in order to find the types of activities your clientele will want. You could arrange bus trips to places that are at some distance. You live there. You will know how far you may have to travel. You can travel as little or as much as you decide.

Will I be compensated for my work/travel?

Yes! How much fun is that? You get to go to the activities, have the possibility of making lots of new friends and get paid to do it!

Am I permitted to date people I meet at my groups?

Yes. Like others in our age group, you are probably looking for companionship as well. However, you must never take advantage of your position with our organization to pressure someone into dating you. You may not use personal information to track or stalk anyone; and you cannot cause others in your group/s to feel uncomfortable about being at the same activity/ies as you and anyone you have previously dated. In other words, it is incumbent upon you to act as a mature, intelligent adult who is a key member of an important organization whose sole purpose it to set up low pressure, mutually enjoyable situations where all involved can relax, have fun, and find people with common interests.

It will not be viewed as your personal dating pool. Any reports of inappropriate conduct will be investigated and could be cause for immediate dismissal.

Must I be single to be a coordinator?

No. Anyone who loves to organize groups and see people together having fun can become a coordinator. Of course, you must never become personally involved with anyone in your group/s. Your job is solely, to organize and coordinate activities for the singles in your area who wish to get together with other singles interested in the same types of fun.

What type of person is best suited to being a BoomerAge Coordinator?

• Someone who loves people.
• You need to be outgoing and organized.
• You will need to have at least 20 hours per month to devote to finding out what types of activities are wanted in your area, when is the best time to set them up and how much they will cost (in the case of a restaurant, you will be provided with a scale you can use to asses the general price range).
• You will need reliable transportation so that you can visit the different venues to assess their suitability. (Although recommendations are always useful, different people have different qualifications for what they consider good.
• You must be able to objectively assess any activity and its surroundings, i.e. cleanliness, size, affordability. Your local publications usually supply a ratings system which is fairly reliable; that, along with first hand knowledge is always best. Speaking to the owner/manager of an establishment sets up a rapport with them and may help you to get group discounts or specials in the future. Remember, your goal is to make it easy and fun for the people in your group/s. You also want the establishments where your group visits to be happy to see them, again and again.
