MCARLM HIGH SCHOOL INTERN PROGRAM

The MCARLM High School Intern program is a yearlong paid position for four selected local junior and senior student applicants. The program provides the participants with mentor-based opportunities that help the students hone their communication skills, improve public speaking skills, gain work experience, and learn to work as part of a team. During this year-long program, interns work as guides, history interpreters, researchers, exhibit creators, and assist in educational programming. Each intern cycle begins and ends in June.

Each cycle, the interns experience an immersive field-trip that exposes them to an in-depth cultural experience and teaches them about the variety of museums, methods of information disbursement, and exhibit styles. Afterwards, the interns are tasked with creating an exhibit of their own which is displayed in the Main Exhibit barn.

"I feel very fortunate to have gotten to spend my last two years at the museum; they've provided me with invaluable experience and memories. I'm so excited to take the skills I've learned at MCARLM and apply them in college and my future career."
