The Monticello Internship in Museum Education at the Illinois State
Museum provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with
museum educators, exhibits staff, curators, and volunteers in a
mid-sized museum of natural history, anthropology, and art. The Illinois
State Museum is located in Springfield, Illinois.
The Monticello Intern helps coordinate the volunteers and day-to-day
operations of the Museum’s hands-on children’s gallery (the Mary Ann
MacLean 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 working
with volunteers and children, and teaching 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, 2013 to August 31, 2014. 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.
