High School Students Needed for "Witness Theater"- telling Holocaust stories through theater - Fall 2026 through Spring 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. The posting is about Witness Theater program, not a job posting. We need to reformat into semantic HTML with headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications Skills Benefits Pay Schedule. But this is not a job posting; it's a volunteer program. The instructions: "You reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML." But the given text is not a job posting; it's a program description. We must still follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to decide which sections have real content. The posting includes: description of Selfhelp (organization), description of Witness Theater program, details: how it works, what students will earn (up to 120 community service hours), create relationships, listen to stories, portray experiences, program details (when, where), contact info, website. We need to map to sections: maybe "About the role" could be description of program? "Responsibilities" could be what students will do? "Requirements" maybe none? "Qualifications" maybe none? "Skills" maybe none? "Benefits" maybe community service hours? "Pay" none. "Schedule" maybe program timing. We must not create sections with filler. So we include only sections where we have real specific content. We have: - About the role/program: description of Witness Theater, what it is, its purpose. - Responsibilities: what students will do: meet weekly, earn hours, create relationships, listen to stories, portray experiences. - Requirements: maybe none explicit besides being high school student or college freshman, no prior theater experience required. That could be considered requirements. - Qualifications: maybe none. - Skills: maybe none. - Benefits: earn up to 120 community service hours, create long lasting relationships, listen to stories firsthand, portray experiences. - Pay: none. - Schedule: program details: when one evening 5:30-7:30 every week from mid-September through mid-May, plus rehearsals on Sundays from 10 am - 2pm beginning end of January 2026. We also have location: Where 520 8th Avenue, 5th floor, Manhattan, NY, 10018. Contact info: Anya Leybovich, Program Director, Witness Theater @witnesstheater@selfhelp.net (typo?), also call/text at (929) 626-0888 email aleybovich@selfhelp.net. Also website. We need to preserve all substantive info. We should not include boilerplate like "Selfhelp provides a broad set of services..." maybe that's background but still substantive about organization. Could be included in "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the organization". But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put organization description under "About the role". Or we could create a section "About the role" that includes both program and organization. We must not repeat job title as heading (none). No Job ID. We must not include application instructions? The contact info is not exactly application instructions but could be considered contact. It's substantive; we should keep. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:

  About the role

  Selfhelp provides a broad set of services to more than 25,000 elderly, frail, and vulnerable New Yorkers each year, while remaining the largest provider of comprehensive services to Holocaust survivors in North America. Selfhelp offers a complete network of home care and community-based services with the overarching goal of helping seniors live with dignity and independence and avoid institutionalization. Founded in 1936 to help those fleeing Nazi Germany maintain their independence and dignity as they struggled to forge new lives in America, Selfhelp is one of the largest and most respected not-for-profit human service agencies in the New York metropolitan area, offering services throughout New York City and Long Island.

  Witness Theater, now in its 15th year, is a powerful multigenerational theater experience that engages students and Holocaust survivors to tell impactful survivor stories.

  Then maybe

  Responsibilities

  • Meet weekly with a trained drama therapist and Holocaust survivors over the course of the academic year.
  • Earn up to 120 community service hours for participation.
  • Create long‑lasting relationships with Holocaust survivors.
  • Listen to Holocaust survivors’ wartime stories firsthand.
  • Portray the life experiences of Holocaust survivors in a theatrical performance.

  Requirements

  • High school student or college freshman.
  • No prior theater experience required.
  Maybe

  Benefits

  • Earn up to 120 community service hours.
  • Create long‑lasting relationships with Holocaust survivors.
  • Listen to survivors’ stories firsthand.
  • Portray survivor experiences in a theatrical performance.
  But note that some of these overlap with Responsibilities; we might combine. However we must not create thin sections. Could combine Responsibilities and Benefits into one? But we need to follow headings only if real content. We have content for Responsibilities (what students will do) and Benefits (what they gain). Both are substantive. Could keep both.

  Schedule

  Program runs one evening each week from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, mid‑September through mid‑May, plus Sunday rehearsals from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm beginning at the end of January 2026.

  Location

  but Location is not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Location is not allowed. So we must fold location into a short

  maybe under About the role or Schedule? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." Location is minor metadata? Could be folded into a short

  . Probably we can include location in a paragraph under About the role or Schedule. Let's put it under About the role as a sentence. Similarly contact info and website: minor metadata, fold into short

  . We must not create headings for Contact or Website. Thus final HTML:

  We might also include contact info and website as a short paragraph under About the role or maybe after Schedule as a

  . Since it's minor metadata, we can add a short

  after Schedule:

  We must ensure we don't repeat content. Already we mentioned earning up to 120 hours in Responsibilities and Benefits; that's okay but could be considered duplication. However we must preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay if it's in original? The original mentions "Earn up to 120 community service hours for participation" only once. We have it in Responsibilities and Benefits; that's duplication. Might be better to only include it once, maybe under Benefits (since it's a benefit). Responsibilities could focus on actions: meet weekly, create relationships, listen, portray. The earning hours is more a benefit. So adjust. Responsibilities: meet weekly, create relationships, listen, portray. Benefits: earn up to 120 hours, create relationships, listen, portray (but those overlap). Actually creating relationships, listening, portraying are both responsibilities and benefits. To avoid duplication, we could list them only once under Responsibilities, and Benefits only the hours. But the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; we can choose to not duplicate but still preserve. It's okay to not repeat same info; we just need to ensure we don't lose any info. If we list creating relationships, listening, portraying under Responsibilities, we still have that info. Benefits then only need to mention the hours. That preserves all info (since we still have the relationships etc). Let's do that. Thus: Responsibilities: meet weekly, create long‑lasting relationships, listen to stories firsthand, portray experiences. Benefits: earn up to 120 community service hours. Now ensure we have all info: organization description, program description,
