Teen Internship Program

The seven Milwaukee Public School high school seniors selected each year will be afforded the unique opportunity of working one-on-one with Museum staff while gaining valuable work experience in one of seven areas: curatorial, graphic design, marketing research, membership, store marketing and events, and studio art education.

In addition, students will explore other museum careers, participate in Museum programs, and learn about educational opportunities in the arts. Interns can expect to deliver gallery talks, assist in the development of a teen mini-site on the Museum’s website, and take part in a Teen Council assigned with planning a community-wide teen event at the Museum. The internships are paid and require a ten-hour commitment each week and twenty hours per week.
