About the Internship 

MCBA Education Interns will learn about and gain experience in our virtual book arts programs while supporting our education team with a combination of remote and in-person projects. Primary areas of learning include (but are not limited to): 

• Learn about MCBA’s virtual programs, the online platforms MCBA uses to offer programs (Zoom & Google Classroom), and how our programs are facilitated. 

• Participate in virtual workshops on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays by supporting teaching artists and participants with tech and facilitation needs. This includes: opening the virtual classroom, greeting the teaching artists and participants as they come in, introducing the online platforms to participants, and providing tech support as needed. 

• Hybrid Intern will support Saturday studio workshops and staff onsite at MCBA. Additional onsite opportunities may be available on select Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Opportunities may include supporting exhibition events, community outreach projects, and tours.

• Learn about MCBA’s customer relations management software and support staff in updating records to generate more useful data. 

• Gain experience corresponding with workshop participants about virtual programs. 

• Develop skills in and provide support for interrelated program areas, including but not limited to marketing, communications, and artistic programs.
