"I guess this is my first "life improvement" challenge. finding a job that will still pay the bills but allow me to do more community stuff in the evenings."
Something that can help is to look at your budget and reduce unnecessary expenses, even if it's just temporarily, I'm doing this at the moment as I have reduced the salary requirements of my next job in order to open up more opportunities (by doing this, I've been able to apply for more community oriented work, which tends to pay lower than my current line of work - so I decided to sell my car - it's a trade off I'm happy to make in order to have more fulfilling work, even if I'll have to get a bus/train to it
).
Good luck
p.s. I like the term Facilitator, it sounds more empowering!
