Job description

Museum Intern (Fall 2026)

Intern/s will work under the direction of the Collections & Education Director and the Collections Manager, assisting with projects in both the Collections and Program Departments and gaining an understanding of the scope and breadth of museum operations. After an initial training and orientation period, intern/s will divide their time between general collections work and public-facing programming.

Collections work may include entering biographical information about Pleasant Hill Shakers, scanning/describing historic photographs, cataloging institutional archives, and assisting with other collections management tasks. Time and interest permitting, intern/s may also work on a research project to further departmental priorities (such as researching and compiling content for a new public program or exhibit). As part of the Program Team, intern/s will be trained to give dynamic, engaging tours on various topics and may assist with other special events (such as the annual Harvest Fest).

This internship is a career development opportunity designed to give college students or recent graduates (2 years or less out from graduation) a venue for learning and improving museum-related skills. This is a temporary position (10 weeks @ 37.5 hours/week) that includes a $1500 stipend. Exact dates to be discussed, but the internship will likely run from Tuesday, September 22 through Saturday, December 5. Interns will generally work Tuesday-Saturday; excused absences will be granted for specific Saturdays as needed.

Responsibilities and duties include completing assigned projects responsibly, developing accurate, in-depth knowledge of Shaker life, culture, and history, behaving in a professional manner at all times, following the SVPH Employee Handbook, assisting with projects as directed by the Collections & Education Director, working courteously and cooperatively with fellow interns, employees, and volunteers, and maintaining open communication with the Collections & Education Director.

Skills and qualifications include being a currently enrolled or recently graduated college student with a strong interest in museum programming, studying history or other relevant fields, enthusiasm for Shaker Village's mission, willingness to learn new skills quickly, being articulate and confident when speaking, being precise and attentive to details, and being comfortable working outdoors and in indoor spaces that have only minimal heating/cooling.
