Summer Internship at the Gaston County Museum in Dallas, North Carolina

 

The Gaston County Museum of Art & History is located near Gastonia, North Carolina on the square in historic Dallas.  The museum is housed in an 1852 brick Greek Revival style hotel that has been adapted for visitors and travelers of today.  The museum contains North Carolina’s largest collection of horse-drawn vehicles consisting of sleighs, drays, wagons, and buggies.  The Gaston County Museum represents one of only a few cultural institutions in the town of Dallas. 

 

To promote the understanding of heritage and history, the museum’s mission is to collect and preserve artifacts which illuminate regional history, and to interpret them to current and future generations through exhibits, publications, and educational programs; to encourage appreciation of visual art through the collection and exhibition of fine examples of artistic endeavor; and to promote and encourage historic preservation and renovation.

 

The Gaston County Museum is currently seeking a summer intern to work in the Education Department.  This person will work closely with the Programs Coordinator to learn program methods and strategies.  The intern will be responsible for development, implementation, and evaluation of the summer drop-in day camp for local children.  This person will schedule, and implement youth summer programs. The intern will also work on other projects at the museum and in the community as assigned.  The museum will agree to pay the student intern a $3360 stipend for the 480 hour completed internship.   

 

Prospective students are asked to submit a resume as well as an essay indicating why they want to do their internship at the Gaston County Museum and what they hope to gain from the experience.  Please contact Jeff Pruett at your earliest convenience if you are interested.
