Applications are now being accepted for a paid internship opportunity at the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
The Lipper Internship Program at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, is an outstanding opportunity for college students in a variety of fields and from a variety of backgrounds. The Lipper program brings together graduate and undergraduate students for a semester-long internship in museum education.
Interns in the program participate in an initial two-week training course in New York City conducted by Museum staff and scholars. Following training, interns work throughout the semester with middle and high school students in their communities. Each intern conducts classroom visits to teach the chronology of the Holocaust, leads the classes through tours of the Museum, and then returns to the classes for post-visit sessions to reinforce and expand upon what the students have learned. For their work, students receive a stipend and travel expenses. Students of all backgrounds and academic interests may apply.
The application deadline for the spring 2012 semester of the Lipper Internship Program is Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011.
