I worked with developmentally-disabled youth, I teach bar mitzvah kids (our shul basically runs a bar mitzvah factory- teach the kid how to lay tefillin, we teach him how to have an aliyah, we help him write a dvar torah, we teach him to lead some of the prayers, and we help him learn Hebrew in order to read his Haftorah, all in a period of 6 months), I run services as a cantor twice a month (leyning, davening, sermon, afternoon shiur/class, coordinate bikur cholim, interfaith activities, outreach, etc.), I taught social studies in yeshivos, and therefore, have the experience needed to succeed in this capacity. I’ve helped grow our shul’s membership generally by focusing on offering activities that are attractive to 14-19 year olds, such as offering an oneg shabbat/Tisch with cholent, torah talks, sports themes, etc.

In my case, I could definitely get rabbinical references, and will launch this process soon, IY”H.
