Assistive Technology Champions
Posted July 27, 2023 12:15 pmThe Delaware Assistive Technology Initiative (DATI) is seeking young adults (ages 18-30) to spread the word about assistive technology (AT).
AT Champions will work with DATI staff members to create stories and videos about AT for social media. The goal is to increase AT awareness and use. Delaware AT Champions will also work with other AT Champions from states close to Delaware.
You must have–and be willing to share–personal experience with AT. This could include things that help with mobility, hearing, vision, using a computer, learning, reading and writing or planning and organization.
Our ideal candidate is creative, excited to share about AT, open to learning with and from others, and eager to develop leadership skills. You must have experience creating videos and posting to social media.
As an AT Champion, you will:
- Devote at least 10 hours per month to this project between October 2024 and April 2025
- Attend monthly virtual meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month, 3:00-4:30 p.m. with other AT Champions
- Meet in person and virtually with DATI to create social media about AT for CDS social media channels
- Earn $25 per hour (up to $1,500)
