Work for someone who’s got your back.
Worthwhile is flexible when it counts, so you’ll never have to miss a huge career opportunity because of your work schedule. Read that again.
A side hustle designed to move your career forward.
Worthwhile was founded by a group of actors who wanted a way to pay their bills—without sacrificing the freedom to attend any audition that popped up.
We’re now a network of over a hundred actors, musicians, and students who work events as a means to an end. People pick up shifts that fit their schedule, and help each other find coverage whenever a potentially career-changing conflict pops up.
“Working as an actor, the flexibility of this job has been a godsend and something I didn’t know was possible to find. More importantly, they care about their employees as people first. I can’t recommend working for Worthwhile enough!”
-Sam Cadieux, Actor
