The Monticello Internship in Museum Education at the Illinois State 
Museum provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with 
museum educators, exhibits staff, curators, and volunteers in a 
mid-sized museum of natural history, anthropology, and art. The Illinois 
State Museum is located in Springfield, Illinois.

The Monticello Intern helps coordinate the volunteers and day-to-day 
operations of the Museum’s hands-on children’s gallery (the Mary Ann 
MacLean Play Museum). The intern also plans and implements monthly 
children’s programs, and assists with school programs and family events.

Requirements: a Bachelor's degree in education, anthropology, natural 
science, museum studies, history, or art; career interest in museum 
education; and experience working with the public. Experience working 
with volunteers and children, and teaching a plus. Computer skills in 
word processing, database management, and desktop publishing are 
preferred. Flexibility, maturity, strong organizational skills, caring 
personality, and enthusiasm for working with children and volunteers - 
especially retirees - are very important.

The internship will run from September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014. There 
is a monthly salary of $1,618 plus a benefits package including group 
medical and life insurance, holidays, vacation, personal business days, 
and sick time.

AND graduate - unofficial copies are acceptable), an e-mail address
