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 helps coordinate the volunteers and day-to-day
operations of the Museum’s hands-on children’s gallery (“A Place for
Discovery”). The intern also plans and implements monthly children’s
programs, and assists with school programs and family events. This year,
the intern will also help the staff launch a new children’s space, the
“Play Museum.”
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. Flexibility, maturity,
strong organizational skills, caring personality, and enthusiasm for
working with children and volunteers - especially retirees - are important.
The internship will run from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011. There
is a monthly stipend of $1,565 plus a benefits package including
fully-paid medical and life insurance, holidays, vacation, personal
business days, and sick time.
To apply: send cover letter, resume, college transcripts (undergraduate
& graduate - unofficial copies are acceptable), an e-mail address where
you may be reached, and contact information for three professional
references (including their email addresses) to:
