The Actors Fund is a national organization providing human services for the entire entertainment industry.
The Fund Actors’ Work program assists entertainment industry professionals in identifying and finding non-industry work that compliments their industry careers.
Through the Actors’ Work program, many actors throughout the country have gained skills and found work in such diverse fields as teaching, sales, and administrative support--work that allows them to continue their acting career.
The
Fund has been approached by a national organization that has a speakers’
bureau focused on teaching and motivating high school students about choosing
colleges and making the most of their college experience. Presenters are given
a script, and each presentation is about an hour long. Presenters are given a
schedule four to six weeks in advance, and the pay is $100 to $250 a
presentation, depending on the length of travel.
If you are
interested in learning more about the Presenters opportunity, or if you would
like to work with The Actors’ Fund to develop sideline work or a new career,
