This summer, I’ve had the opportunity to work on multiple projects for the Intern Program, and there’s no better time because this year is the Intern Program’s 25th anniversary! The Children’s Museum claims that an internship at the world’s largest children’s museum is “NOT your typical internship”…and I’ve already seen that it certainly isn’t! From Professional Development workshops to Cultural Field Trips, interns have many one-of-a-kind opportunities at the museum.
The intern program is also award-winning! In 2012 Vault, Inc. named the Children's Museum as one of the top 10 nonprofit internship programs in the nation. And in February 2013 it was recognized by INTERNnet as the 2012 Intern Program of the Year at the IMPACT Awards.
