Internships

Do you want to gain experience working for a non-profit? Have you always wondered what it is like to work behind the scenes at a museum?
The Clarke Historical Museum is looking for interns each semester to help with a variety of projects including:
  • Updating our rock display
  • Creating digital exhibits
  • Scanning images to be used in exhibits
  • Staffing the museum docent desk
  • Leading tours
  • Improving our educational outreach program
  • Helping with outreach events such as Living History Day and Archaeology Day
  • Conducting research for future exhibits
  • Conducting an inventory of the Victorian Room
  • Building exhibit cases
If you have a project in mind that you would be interested in conducting here, please let us know!
​
Depending on the project, interns typically work at the museum during our open hours. Required time commitment varies based on university program requirements (if applicable) and project.

Our goal is to provide interns with the opportunity to pursue their interests in a museum setting, learn something new, and have fun in the process.

If you would like to apply to be an intern, please foll our our volunteer form here and send a resume and cover letter to Josh Buck at josh@clarkemuseum.org. Internship recipients are typically chosen within the first two weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters. Summer internship start dates are flexible.
