Internships

The dynamics of an evolving non-profit organization lends itself to unlimited growth, creativity and potential. Each year, MoCADA hosts 8-10 high school and college interns throughout the year in order to provide hands-on experience working at a non-profit arts institution. Internships are unpaid, although paid internships are available on a limited basis. MoCADA also welcomes the opportunity to work with educational institutions to offer academic credit.

MoCADA’s internship program offers students and recent graduates an opportunity to broaden their educational and professional experiences. Interns are encouraged to think about what it means to create a legacy that will ultimately benefit their communities. While at MoCADA, interns receive the unique and challenging experience of working in a smaller institution where departments overlap and a small number of individuals are working together on numerous projects. Interns are able to take their experiences and knowledge and translate them into the global landscape. It is MoCADA’s hope to create a network of interns that continue to support the mission of furthering awareness of the African Diaspora in whatever endeavors they may embark upon.

In order to increase diversity in professions related to museum administration and the visual arts, MoCADA seeks diversity in its intern staff and provides equal opportunity to its applicants.

Interested applicants should complete and submit the following:

1. Application form
2. Résumé
3. One professional letter of recommendation
4. School requirements for college credit (if applicable)
