Family Programs Internship

This fall, the Family Programs intern will conduct research for programs related to new exhibitions (Holiday Express, etc.) and special holiday programming (Halloween, Historical Train Weekend, etc.) as well as become an integral member of our Family Programs team. They will assist with marketing; administrative tasks; preparing materials for programs; and staffing a variety of other family programs for the New-York Historical Society and DiMenna Children’s History Museum. By the end of the internship, the intern will have gained experience with researching, developing, and delivering out-of-school-time programs for a variety of family audiences.

Please note, this will be a hybrid internship. There will be regularly scheduled weekday hours that may be worked remotely or on-site at the Museum as well as some in-person weekend hours to assist with scheduled family programs.

The Family Programs intern should be earning a degree in Education, Museum Education, Museum Studies, History, Art History, or a related field with a particular interest in working with families with children ages 3 - 12. We require excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to projects. Interest in art-making is a plus. 

This internship is available for a stipend of $1800.

Please be advised that the New-York Historical Society has adopted a mandatory vaccine policy. Interns scheduled to work onsite during the course of their internship must provide proof of vaccination ahead of the start of the internship, and will be required to follow health and safety measures put into place by N-YHS while onsite.
