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,
and sick time.
