Transitioning Youth and Adults Peer Mentors (part-time)
DSNMC is hiring Peer Mentors to provide direct support for our Transitioning Youth (ages 14-21) and Adult (21+) members with Down syndrome. Peer mentors must demonstrate sensitivity, awareness, and commitment to supporting individuals with Down syndrome and their families across our very diverse community. We especially welcome applications from candidates who are bilingual and biliterate in Spanish, though this is not a requirement for the position.
A peer mentor should expect to assist in any or all of the following areas:
- Provide direct support for program participants during educational, recreational, and social programming.
- Build positive relationships with program participants and model appropriate interactions and conversations.
- Facilitate and encourage participation during in-person DSNMC and community events.
This is a part-time, contract position with a wage of $20/hour. This position is available on a semester basis as well as for multiple semesters. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
