INTEGRATIONS iNTERN

ETI is seeking a talented and driven Program Intern to work closely with ETI’s Integration Programs Director to ensure the smooth running of ETI’s Integrations Program events.  

The ETI Integrations Program raises awareness and encourages various sectors (education, private, government, and the general public) to exemplify integration and inclusion in practice and to include more persons with disabilities in daily life so as to break down social stigmas.  

Integration Programs are blindfolded, facilitated experiences that allow participants to shed preconceived notions of themselves and others when interacting for the first time, allowing them to be blind to certain labels. This facilitates authentic dialogue and conversations about racism, prejudice, sexism, ageism and ableism, prompting participants to rethink their assumptions about one another, their abilities, and the potential of others. 

Position Responsibilities: 

  • Become extremely familiar with the mission of ETI’s Integration Programs 

  • Develop an understanding of the program planning process and operations  

  • Assist with event preparation including preparing materials, seating charts and any needed printing 

  • Assist with set-up, registration, and tear-down at events 

  • Organize and manage program database 

  • Conduct exit interviews and follow-ups with event participants under supervision of Program Director 

  • Manage and analyze program data to maximize participant satisfaction and attendance 

Position Requirements: 

  • Passion for social justice and disabilities rights issues 

  • Excellent organizational skills 

  • Comfortable working as part of a team 

  • Experience with data analysis a plus 

  • Prior experience with event coordination  

  • Able to contribute 5-10 hours/week to this role 

Ideally, this candidate will currently be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate level program focusing on event management, hospitality, business administration/management, communications or similar field. The candidate will be available starting August or September 2018 through December 2018 and will be available to come to the ETI office in Harvard Square, Cambridge MA at least once per week.
