There are two types of student positions available - Office Assistants and Program Assistants. Office Assistants would help with correspondence, writing newsletters and brochures, filing, and other general office duties. The Program Assistant would answer incoming phone calls and complete intake, screening, and assessment documentation, then report this information to the team of professionals, and would maintain the office when other staff are in group or out of the office. The office is located at the VA Medical Center and on bus routes. The staff have much work to do, but also have a lot of fun too.
Students can help tremendously and also learn much from the staff.
In 1936, a group of hard of hearing people began to meet on a regular basis to share information and socialize. This gathering resulted in the formation of the St. Paul Society for the Hard of Hearing. This consumer drive and spirit continues with their recent name change to Doorways. Their mission is to be the premier capacity-building organization for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people, their families, and communities throughout Minnesota and beyond. This position involves a good deal of contact with the public, both deaf and hard of hearing as well as the hearing public.
