Mayor's Commission for Persons with Disabilities

Our mission is to increase opportunities for people with disabilities by facilitating full and equal participation in all aspects of life within the City of Boston. This includes reducing architectural, procedural, attitudinal, and communication barriers as well as promoting equity in housing, education, employment, transportation, and civic activities.

Our office works toward compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We also provide information and referral, architectural access review, and advocacy on disability issues.

1. Filing paper files :
- We have paper documents that need to be stored in physical file folders, following standard alphabetization rules.
- Requires English language fluency and attention to detail
2. Scanning documents:
- We also need to make digital versions of those paper files. We have a dedicated scanner that will create an image of the paper file in question, and then the intern will need to manually re-name the image file according to standardized naming conventions and move the images into appropriate Google Drive folders.
- Requires English language fluency, attention to detail, advanced organizational skills, and an understanding of computer folder systems
3. Research and drafting information for boston.gov pages:
- The Disabilities Commission hosts a number of webpages that provide information to residents and others about the resources available to persons with disabilities. Some of those pages need to be checked for broken links, new phone numbers, new organizational addresses, etc. Other pages can be added to and expanded upon with additional information. We could also create a few new resource pages on other topics.
