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.

(undergraduate & graduate - unofficial copies are acceptable), an
