  • In addition to the summer concert series, interns will also be required to provide onsite event support to a range of daytime and evening programs (such as book talks, Adult Education classes, film screenings, etc.) throughout the summer.

Qualifications, Experience, and Attributes:

  • Candidates should be motivated, organized, and adaptable to working in a fast-paced creative environment.
  • Excellent computer skills (Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams, and internet research) are required.
  • Availability for event coverage during the entire summer concert series in July and August, which will contain a total of five (5) live shows. Weekday work hours will be adjusted accordingly for time spent working weekends and/or evening programs.
  • A passion for the arts and previous event production experience is preferred but not required.

Eligibility:

Applicants must fulfill the following requirements:

  • Be currently enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student in either a Bachelor's degree program or an Associate's degree program. Students must have completed at least one semester or two quarters of college by June 2026. Students who graduated this semester or quarter immediately before the internship begins are also eligible.
