Open Positions
As always, there is some red tape:
- Pratt Points are non-transferrable and have no cash value.
- Members of the program are subject to a performance review in January each year or a time specified by their supervisor.
- Pratt Points are our way of saying “Thank You” for volunteering and is not compensation.
- Pratt Points unfortunately are not able to cover supply fees for classes or workshops.
- Pratt Points are valid for 24 months after the date of issue.
- Much to our disappointment – Pratt instructors, teaching assistants, and staff members are not eligible to participate in the Pratt Points Volunteer Program.
