Summer 2008 Internship Program

The Lighthouse Center for the Arts will offer an internship to 8 high school students and 4 undergraduate students.  Students become involved in a range of professional activities, with the primary focus for summer facilitation of art instruction within our summer camp program for children ages 4-12.

High School Internship
Eight high school students will be selected this year to participate in the High School Internship Program. Interns will spend approximately 80% of their week working directly with children; assisting experienced art teachers facilitate summer camp groups in hands-on art activities. Every intern will be trained by staff. The interns will spend the other 20% of their time on project planning, preparation and clean up.

Required Commitment: 35 hours per week
Eligibility: High school interns must be rising juniors, seniors or about to enter their first year of college. Selection criteria include merit, enthusiasm and communication skills.
