We are looking for people with a passion to making a difference, and who

will receive $15/hour. Strong candidates will:



·    Have a passion and history of advocating for the blindness or low
vision community.

·    A bachelor’s degree or related experience in political science,
government, public policy, nonprofit management, advocacy, communications
or other related field.

·    A desire for a career in public policy, nonprofit management, civic
engagement, or other areas that will create a better future for people with
blindness, low vision and/or other disabilities.



*EXPECTATIONS*



·    A minimum commitment of 20 hours per week.

·    Participation in regularly scheduled team meetings.

·    Attendance in weekly speaker series.

·    Work with the National Leadership Program Director on advancing your
career goals. This will include strengthening your resume, cover letter and
building your professional network.



The Spring 2022 Apprenticeship starts on January 18, 2022. The program is
entirely virtual and can be done from anywhere in the United States.



Ollie Cantos, Chair of RespectAbility who is blind himself and the father
of triplets who are also blind, said, “Those involved with RespectAbility
have the unique opportunity, not only to call for change, but to be a part
of the very solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.
Self-determination is the key, because problems are best solved by people
who experience them firsthand and know both the stakes and the solutions.”
