The Monticello College Foundation Internship in Museum Education provides a
challenging opportunity to work closely with museum educators, exhibits
staff, and content curators in a museum of natural history, anthropology,
and art.  The program is designed for interns who wish to enter the field
of museum education.

The Monticello Intern helps coordinate the day-to-day operations of "A
Place for Discovery," a hands-on children's gallery, including the
gallery's 30 volunteers. The Monticello Intern also assists with other
museum education programs including school groups, monthly gallery
programs, and special events.

Requirements: a bachelor's degree in education, anthropology, natural
science, museum studies, or art; career interest in museum education;
experience working with the public; ability to use a personal computer for
word processing. Teaching experience or  Master's degree are a plus.

with volunteers - especially retirees - are very important.

The internship runs September 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001 with some
flexibility in starting and ending dates. Monthly stipend of $1,232 plus a
benefits package including fully paid medical and life insurance, holidays,
vacation, personal business days, and sick time.
