American Chinese Christian Educational and Social Services, Inc. (ACCESS) is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian outreach community service agency serving Chinese families in and around Boston with a holistic Christian approach. We strive to help bridge generation and culture gaps within families, believing that health and reconciliation are possible through Christ. We hope to further the understanding of both the American and Chinese cultures for each generation; we also encourage access to this multi-cultural society and to each other within the family.
We are seeking Christian staff and volunteers. A person may apply to serve in more than one position if his or her skills and experiences are appropriate. Commitment to one semester is required; commitment to a school year is preferred. There is also the possibility of job-sharing (e.g., two people co-teaching one class). Volunteer staff are welcome. Application procedures are the same for paid staff and volunteers, since they may share the same job descriptions and responsibilities.
