Work Study Program

José Mateo Ballet Theatre offers a robust Work Study program that allows volunteers to earn free ballet classes in exchange for working at the front desk and assisting with the school’s administrative tasks.

Description

Work Study participants are scheduled for a weekly three-hour shift at the front desk of the JMBT Cambridge Studios. Duties on shift include include greeting guests at the front desk, signing in students attending class, answering inquiries on the phone, and assisting with the school’s special projects.

Qualifications

Work Study participants must be at least 16 years of age and be able to commit to a full semester (6 months). Work Study participants must be responsible, prompt, courteous, and calm under pressure. They must also show proficiency with standard computer programs, be responsible while handling payments, and demonstrate the ability to execute detailed work in a fast-paced environment. Due to exposure to confidential information, family members of JMBT YDP students are not allowed to be Work Study participants.

Benefits

The Work Study Program offers an exchange of hours worked for classes earned – 3 ballet classes for every three-hour shift worked. Participants additionally have the opportunity to connect with the José Mateo Ballet Theatre network and add arts administration experience to their résumés. (Please note: Work Study credits may not be used in exchange for rehearsal space)
