Education: Museum Apprentice Program

The Museum Apprentice Program is an internship opportunity for teens to teach at a major art museum.

Museum Apprentices:

• Meet curators
• Develop educational tours for summer camp groups
• Practice public speaking
• Expand their knowledge of art and art history
• Learn to teach young children
• Assist with family programs
• Research objects and their history
• Improve their communication skills

The Museum Apprentice Program is open to all high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and beginning seniors. The program begins in October and concludes in August. October through June, meetings are held on Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m. Apprentices must work a minimum of one weekend day per month during the school year. In July and August, Apprentices will work with camp groups from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Apprentices must commit to a full year and are required to attend all meetings and workdays.
