Our PREP and STYLE programs serve high school students 14 to 21 years of age. Students in the Buddy Program 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>The most qualified applicants possess the following skill set:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Aspirations to work with children/teenagers<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Ability to communicate effectively with co-workers and supervisors <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Willingness to work as part of a team <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Willingness and ability to teach students of all levels and backgrounds <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Proficiency in using word processing, spreadsheets, the internet, and email using either the JAWS, Voiceover or NVDA screen readers <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Ability to write clear and concise reports on student progress <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>• Ability to read and write Braille <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Note: All applicants must pass a background check. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>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"><span style='color:#0433FF'>mgip@blindinc.org</span></a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Don’t Delay; Apply Today!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Michell Gip, MAT, NCUEB, NOMC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Youth Services Coordinator <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Blindness: Learning In New Dimensions (BLIND), Inc. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>100 East 22nd St. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Minneapolis, MN. 55404 <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Phone: 612-872-0100 ext. 231<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:mgip@blindinc.org">mgip@blindinc.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
