The Monticello College Foundation Internship in Museum Education 
provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with museum 
educators, exhibits staff, and curators in a mid-sized museum of natural 
history, anthropology, and art.

The Monticello Intern will help coordinate the volunteers and day-to-day 
operations of the Museum’s new hands-on children’s gallery (the "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 leading 
volunteers, teaching, or Master's degree 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, 2011 to August 31, 2012. There 
is a monthly salary of $1,618 plus a benefits package including group 
medical and life insurance, holidays, vacation, personal business days,
