About
The ArtsWestchester Internship is an unpaid arts administration internship at ArtsWestchester, a nonprofit arts organization in White Plains, New York, open to high school juniors and seniors as well as college students, recent graduates, and mature professionals. Interns work closely with staff in a specific department while learning how a nonprofit runs day to day. Listed roles cover communications, editorial, web content and database, grants and government relations, arts in education, gallery and exhibitions, development and special events, and finance and human resources. Interns also join professional development activities and receive free admission to arts and cultural events around Westchester. Hours vary by role. The internships are typically unpaid, though ArtsWestchester may offer a stipend to cover travel to its offices and events. Some roles are hybrid or semi-remote, while the gallery intern helps run an exhibition space in downtown White Plains.
Requirements
Open to high school juniors and seniors, current college students, recent college graduates, and mature professionals seeking arts experience. Applicants should show interest in the arts and arts administration, communicate well in writing and speaking, and have experience with Microsoft Office and basic office work. Interns must be available for a virtual orientation meeting and possibly extra workshop sessions. Students apply through an online application form.
