Volunteers/ paid Internships (Boston Office)
DEAF, Inc., a multi-service non-profit organization, is currently seeking volunteer interns to work 4-hour shifts at the front desk. Volunteers will be primarily working alongside staff receptionists. Once trained, volunteers may have the opportunity to be paid for back-up coverage in the case of receptionist absences.
Responsibilities include:
- Becoming familiar with and managing
the tty/voice phone system
- Greeting walk-in Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late Deafened, and Deafblind
consumers in American Sign Language and English
- Assisting Deaf, Inc. staff and volunteers with various special projects
as needed
- This position reports to DEAF, Inc's Administrative Support Manager
Requirements:
Candidates for these positions should have at least
one year of ASL experience. Previous administrative/office experience
is helpful but not necessary. This is a great opportunity for students
and community members to improve their ASL skills, and to gain invaluable
experience in this dynamic, multicultural organization working with the
Deaf community.
Volunteers are required to commit to at least two four-hour shifts per week (either 9AM-1PM or 1PM-5PM, Monday through Friday). A minimum of a three-month commitment is required.
