VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

We unfortunately do not currently offer any volunteer opportunities at the BAC and will update this page if that changes at any time. The Boston Ability Center partners with a non-profit organization called One Night Out that provides free babysitting events for children with special needs and their siblings. If you are interested in volunteering with One Night Out, please email onenightout@bostonabilitycenter.com to learn more.

CLINIC AIDE POSITIONS

These positions are paid and range from part-time (1 day/week) to full-time (32-40 hours/week). We ask for a commitment of at least one semester.
Our clinic aides provide support to our clinicians via cleaning/organization, material prep, some administrative type duties, and hands-on help during sessions as needed.
At this time, we unfortunately do not have any paid clinic aide positions open. If you are interested, however, please email your information and resume to MacKenzie Rickert (mackenzie.rickert@bostonabilitycenter.com). We are always eager to meet individuals who are interested in joining our team and would be happy to keep your information on file and reach out if a position becomes available. We often have openings at the start of each season.

INTERNSHIPS (read about one of our intern's experiences here!)

The Boston Ability Center is happy to provide internships to students who are able to affiliate their internship with their high school or university. This can be in the form of earning course credit, completing an independent study, interning as a project for a course, etc. If you are interested in an internship, please first check with your school to see if this is a possibility!
Interns provide support to all clinicians (OT, PT, and Speech) via cleaning/organization, material prep, some administrative type duties, and hands-on help during sessions as needed.
Internships are typically a minimum of 60 hours and are most commonly aligned with our intensive therapy camps when completed during the summer months (primarily in August but sometimes in July). Other internships may be available throughout the year as well.
If you are interested in an internship, please discuss this possibility with your school, and from there please complete this form. Form there, a member of our team will be in touch.

JOB SHADOWING

The Boston Ability Center is happy to offer job shadowing experiences to individuals who are passionate about a career in our fields! Job shadowing is offered based on mutual availability. If interested in shadowing, please complete this form. From there, a member of our team will be in touch!
