We encourage undergraduate and graduate students to apply for an internship to earn academic credit. Interns may have an opportunity to create printed pieces for their portfolios. This is an unpaid internship. Students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago or Columbia College, who qualify for the off campus Work Study Program - may be eligible for a paid internship at ColorBurst.

We also welcome recent graduates to apply as volunteers. As a volunteer, you’ll be using your skills and expertise to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
