Employment
The Prism Center hires student workers through the Federal Work Study (FWS) program. If you have work study as a portion of your financial aid package, you qualify to work with us!
Students in these roles help keep the Center operating, lead drop-in programming, and table at events, among many other opportunities. All job openings are posted on JobX; for more information as to the UVM FWS process, visit the Student Employment Office.
