Serve at Centris
What it takes to open the doors.
A 3,200 square metre center with a 1,300-seat hall does not run itself. Here is honestly what happens each week, and where you would fit.

The rest of the week
Centris is busiest on a Tuesday.
Sunday is the visible part. The center is open most days, and a lot of the serving happens when nobody is watching.
