Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Not really, every Christmas there is a Christmas party where everyone goes to a nice place to celebrate. We sometimes had days where we dress up with the children to celebrate certain days like Christmas or Easter which was good to do. We have graduations for some children where we can help out
