As you may or may not have noticed, my posts to this blog have been fewer and farther between of late, and they often begin with things like, "sorry it's been so long . . ." or " Wow! We've been busy around here!" Part of the reason for this is that our Education Outreach programs have widely expanded in the past few years, thanks in no small part to the support and patronage of those of you who read this blog regularly. We're getting more and more requests from schools, community centers, and afterschool programs to provide programming, and I am struggling to keep up with the demand.
SO, it is with great joy that I am able to announce that I am searching for an Educational Outreach Intern for our upcoming 2011-2012 Season! Below is the posting, and if you know anyone that you think would be a good fit, please encourage them to apply. I am proud to be a graduate of the ETC Intern Program myself, and so I can tell you from experience that though the work is hard around here, the opportunity to learn is immense. Drop me a line if you want to know more!
