Teen Internships
We invite teens ages 15-18 to apply for a limited number of volunteer teen intern positions working with our summer camps. Teen interns help our instructors prepare for camps and assist campers with their projects. Interns develop valuable communication skills, build self-confidence, and gain valuable experience working in the arts. Credits can be earned toward one of the Teen Labs during the summer.
Interns can reapply each year. Application deadline: April 1

“[My child’s] summer camp instructor had a great, warm approach to teaching. Our daughter talked a lot about what she learned each morning with enthusiasm and pride. That takes a teacher who can relate to kids, enjoys them and has intuition and skills in art. Thanks for a great two weeks!”
