National Leadership Program, Fall 2019
Eitan Jacobsohn was a Communications Fellow in RespectAbility’s National Leadership Program for Fall 2019. RespectAbility is a nonprofit organization fighting stigmas and advancing opportunities so that people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community.
Jacobsohn enrolled at Montgomery College and gained work experience during his Fellowship with RespectAbility. He has been aware of RespectAbility since its founding in 2013 and was eager to join the RespectAbility team after he graduated high school in 2019. He joined RespectAbility to do something positive with his free time.
In his free time, Jacobsohn likes to play video games, learn new things, and hike with his dog Lucy. He has a particular interest in the sciences, but also is interested in math, creative writing, and history. He wants to eventually pursue computer science professionally. Jacobsohn volunteered at Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to partially automate their data processing system.
