Our interns will experience many facets of museum management, historical research, and non-profit administration. We value our interns and go the extra mile to make sure you receive a learning experience that fits your career goals. Most internships are ideal for undergraduate or graduate students with a focus in public service, museums or archives, or education. Check back often – opportunities change seasonally!
Thanks to a partnership with UMKC, students at UMKC may be eligible to be paid $15/hour through the university. Wornall/Majors can help you apply for this program.
