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 a career in 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
the gallery's 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 ability to use a personal computer.
Teaching experience or Master's degree a plus. Flexibility, maturity, caring
personality, and enthusiasm for working with volunteers - especially
retirees -
are very important.

The internship runs from September 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005 with some
flexibility in start and end dates. Monthly stipend of $1,391 plus benefits
package including fully-paid medical and life insurance, holidays, vacation,
personal business days, and sick time.
