GENERAL WORK-TRADE INFORMATION

Impact Hub Boston’s work-trade team includes two kinds of positions: (1) Community Hosts and (2) Project Support. The team, overall, is a group of professionals, makers, entrepreneurs, students, and leaders who help us keep our community connected, vibrant, and logistically functioning. They are full members of the Hub with 24/7 access to our shared workspace, but they also help us run the place! Impact Hubs all around the world have similar programs; each one is designed to fit the unique local context of its Hub, but across the board they are a big part of what makes us special as a network – we are a community that is quite literally run by our members! Or, at least in part. Our Hosts are connectors, inspirers, and facilitators. They grow to know our many members who are pursuing creative, impactful solutions to local and global challenges – be they for-profit or non-profit ventures – and seek to connect with resources and with each other. We are seeking people who are observant, dependable, socially conscious, who do not have a problem helping out with logistics around the space ‘getting your hands dirty,’ and who love to be around other people.
