experience in--the profession of museum education at a mid-sized museum
of natural history, history, anthropology, and art. The Monticello
Intern plans and implements a monthly children’s program (Super

wide variety of other public programs, events, and school programs. The
intern also assists with the Museum’s hands-on children’s exhibition,
the Mary Ann MacLean 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. Teaching experience and work experience with volunteers and
children are a plus. Computer skills in word processing, database
management, and desktop publishing are preferred. Flexibility, maturity,
reliability, dedication, strong organizational and communication skills,
and a commitment to being a team player are very important. The
internship will run from September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2016. There is
a monthly salary of $1,700 (subject to state and federal income tax),
