For years, Jill Feeney led a busy life raising her children, volunteering and, in more recent years, running a nonprofit founded in memory of her son, Michael, who died from cancer in 2013. In 2021, in her 50s, she was looking for a part-time job that would let her interact with others and earn some money. A friend encouraged her to apply to be a substitute teacher in her New Jersey school district.

“I looked into it, and it was an opportunity that had a lot of flexibility — you can work at will. The money was decent, and it offered lot of freedom and a lot of interaction with adults and kids of all different ages,” Feeney says.
