Blindness: Learning In New Dimensions (BLIND), Inc. Summer 2022 Job Opportunities

PREP Counselor: May 31 - August 5 
Buddy Counselor: August 1 - August 24 

We at BLIND, Incorporated are seeking dynamic, enthusiastic individuals to work as counselors in our PREP and Buddy Program. Our PREP Program serves students 14 to 21. In the Buddy Program, students range from 9 to 13 years of age.  Applicants must be able to serve as role models as well as understand and share our positive philosophy regarding blindness. These individuals must be skilled in the non-visual alternative techniques of blindness that we teach at our training center. While being a graduate of an National Federation of the Blind (NFB) training center is not a requirement, one should have the same level of skill, self-confidence, and independence that we expect from our graduates. 

The most qualified applicants possess the following skill set:
•  Aspirations to work with children/teenagers
• Ability to communicate effectively with co-workers and supervisors 
• Willingness to work as part of a team 
• Willingness and ability to teach students of all levels and backgrounds 
• Proficiency in using word processing, spreadsheets, the internet, and email using either the JAWS, Voiceover, or NVDA screen readers 
• Ability to write clear and concise reports on student progress 
• Ability to read and write Braille 

Note: All applicants must pass a background check.
