The Education Department is pleased to provide an internship program
for graduate and undergraduate students at the Colorado History
Museum during each fall, spring, and summer semester. The internships
are available on a volunteer basis and many students arrange to
receive academic credit for their work at the museum.
Candidates selected to become interns at the museum work side by
side with staff members in teaching, touring, and producing education
materials, and researching the Society's collections in one of three
areas: school and youth programs, collections management, and public
programs. Interns are regarded as responsible members of the staff
and meet regularly with the professional staff to discuss their
work. Applicants should be enrolled in a degree program with a major
in one of the following area: history, anthropology, education,
or museum studies. Other majors may be considered.
Because the internship program is small, each intern's program
is individually designed with the student and the sponsoring institution.
One writing sample and two letters of recommendation should be submitted
with a cover letter.
