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. </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">The most qualified applicants possess the following skill set:</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Aspirations to work with children/teenagers</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Ability to communicate effectively with co-workers and supervisors </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Willingness to work as part of a team </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Willingness and ability to teach students of all levels and backgrounds </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Proficiency in using word processing, spreadsheets, the internet, and email using either the JAWS, Voiceover, or NVDA screen readers </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Ability to write clear and concise reports on student progress </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">• Ability to read and write Braille </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">Note: All applicants must pass a background check. </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times;">For more information, contact Michell Gip, Youth Services Coordinator at 612-872-0100 ext. 231 or email a cover letter and resume to <a href="mailto:mgip@blindinc.org" class="">mgip@blindinc.org</a>. </div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="">
