Explore Museum Education - Year-Long Paid Education Internship at the
Illinois State Museum
The Monticello College Foundation Internship in Museum Education
provides a challenging opportunity to work closely with museum
educators, exhibits staff, and curators in a museum of natural history,
anthropology, and art. The program is designed for candidates who wish
to explore 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 its 45 volunteers. The Monticello
Intern also assists with other museum education programs including
school groups, monthly children's programs, and special events.
Requirements: a Bachelor's degree in education, anthropology, natural
science, museum studies, history or art; career interest in museum
education; experience working with the public; and the ability to use a
personal computer. Teaching experience or Master's degree a plus. Good
organizational skills, flexibility, maturity, caring personality, and
enthusiasm for working with volunteers - especially retirees - are very
important.
***New for 2006: The internship has been lengthened to one year and will
run from September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007. There is some
flexibility in start and end dates. Monthly stipend of $1478 plus
benefits package including fully-paid medical and life insurance,
holidays, vacation, personal business days and sick time.
