This position reports to the director of communications and outreach.

Scope of Position

While the hours for this position are 20/week, year-round, we are also looking for additional staff hours during our busy summer season (May through mid-August). The person in this position may choose to remain solely at 20 hours/week year-round or to increase their hours to approximately 35/week from mid-June to mid-August to assist our admissions and summer coordinator in serving our students and faculty who are engaged in in-person and online classes during this time.

• Interfacing with students, faculty, and trouble-shooting as necessary;
• Helping to prepare for and assisting at events;
• Helping to maintain database and donor files as needed;

Should you choose to increase your June-August hours, additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Helping to assure the smooth running of our summer programming, including handling light physical work such as classroom/facilities set-up and breakdown, and moving supplies of varying weight (up to 50 lbs);
• Performing end-of-summer activities, including cleaning, general breakdown of facilities, inventorying of supplies, and organizing all evaluations, among other tasks;
