Internships are available in the following categories:

• Education/Exhibits – help research an exhibit, create student programming, and schedule lectures through hands-on experience.
• Marketing/Creative – Assist with marketing materials design and distribution, exhibit set-up and design, maintenance of social media, and editing a newsletter.
• Volunteer/Tours – learn to make recruitment presentations, costumed interactions, tour management, volunteer scheduling
More than one category may be chosen and all internships will also spend time interfacing with board members, researching grants, and attending management level meetings.

Interns are expected to work between 30 and 40 hours per week during an 8 to 12 week internship period. Internships are offered during the summer, fall, and winter/spring semesters. All interns are subject to the applicable employee rules. Interns may receive college credit if an agreement is made between the museum and the intern’s college or university.
