About the role

Turning Pointe Autism Foundation invites an energetic Events Intern to support the planning and execution of community events at our Naperville location. You will learn the organization’s event plans, assist with developing new opportunities, and help implement ongoing events while gaining hands-on experience. The role is part-time, 12–15 hours weekly, with compensation of $15–$17 per hour. Start tentative September 2026, with possible off-site events and a supportive, inclusive workplace.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
