We are seeking an enthusiastic high school student to support the staff of a fast-growing and innovative software company. (To learn more about PatronTechnology and what we do, check out our website: www.patrontechnology.com)

If you’re organized, detail-obsessed, and love to Google, this position is for you. Our ideal candidate will be able to pick up procedures pretty quickly and have an interest in the arts. We’d really like to find someone who’s going to care about the work they do for us.

Most of the time, you'll work with our Account Development Team, tidying up our database, researching and developing lists for outreach, and helping to analyze responses to our outbound marketing campaigns. There will be times when you will be asked to work with our office manager on filing and general administrative projects as well, but the majority of time will be spent on the computer.

We’re looking for someone who can work with us for 5-10 hrs a week, but we’re flexible—we can work around your class schedule. Our office hours are M-Th 9-6pm and Friday, 9am-5pm.

Please send a resume (feel free to include volunteer and school involvement as well as any employment history that you might have) and letter of interest to allison@patrontechnology.com. This position pays $8/hr. Applicants may be asked to provide teacher references.

sunday (feb 24) at the theater...

Liberty City: a place where people of the African Diaspora have settled; where urban and island cultures rub up against each other, and the site of Miami's infamous 1980 riots. Enter April Yvette Thompson--a child of children of the 60's, the daughter of a Bahamian and Cuban father and an African American mother: free thinkers, young radicals and movement people. As the hope of the 60's and 70's gave way to the disillusionment and disintegration of the 80's, April's family struggled to survive and stay together. Part history, part imagination, Liberty City is her personal story that illuminates the lives of one family through the context of social, cultural, and political events.

All TRaC Alum can get free tickets for themselves and friends!

High 5 gives you the access. This show will feature an exclusive post-show talkback with star and co-author April Yvette Thompson, along with director and co-author Jessica Blank, immediately following the performance. Don't miss this unique behind-the-scenes look just for High 5-ers!

Email eric for tickets.
