[Job-Listings] BISM Gold STAR Summer Program Staffing Position Closing Soon

[Kyle Garcia]

BISM is excited to continue the Gold STAR Program for Summer 2026!

This 4- week, fully residential program aims to prepare participants to
enter the work force and gain hands on skills and experience. Students
reside in apartment style housing with their Blind peers while working in a
professional environment and receiving job readiness skills training from
competent Blind professionals. The work experience provides students with a
first-hand perspective of professional environments and the
responsibilities that come with a career. The job readiness skills (i.e.
Professionalism, Technology, Self-Advocacy, and Independent Living)
introduce the students to a roadmap for professionalism and independence.



• Program location: Baltimore, Maryland (you do not need to reside in
Maryland to apply as a staffer)

• Program Dates: July 11 to August 7, 2026 (including weekends)

• Staff Training: June 27 to July 1, 2026

• Pay for 4-week staffing: $3,000 to $3,500

As a Gold STAR Program Staffer, your role will be to serve as an
instructor, leader, and mentor to the students. Applications should be
submitted by April 6th, 2026. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom and are
anticipated to take place in mid-April.

All offers of employment will be contingent upon a successful comprehensive
background check.
