Hello, my name is Megan...I am one of the Activities Assistants at our Adult Day program in Pueblo CO. I have worked in activities just a little over a year and absolutely love it! I am currently enrolled in the MEPAP1 class and will be finishing in the next 2 weeks, then will be on to the next MEPAP! Love doing my job, and can't wait to get that Activity Director certification!

In our adult day.....we only have 2 staff......myself, the activities assistant and I am currently taking classes to become Director, and another activities assistant...she is not qualified for director/certified recreation specialist, but she has the title. That is all the staff we have to do activities for 269 residents (of course, they don't come into the center all at the same time). As far as pay....we don't make that much...for Activity Director, I guess it depends on your state regulations and your facility...it can vary...but I believe an average is 40,000 year.
