Exhibits Fall Intern

With a commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA), the Children’s Museum of Phoenix (CMOP) is dedicated to a workforce that reflects our community and intentionally seeks candidates who are traditionally underserved, and are impacted by systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, physical, or other societal barriers. The Museum’s IDEA Fellows Program provides semester-long, paid fellowship opportunities in finance/administration, marketing, event planning, development, and exhibit/programs/education to full-time or part-time community college, undergraduate or graduate students, and exceptional high school seniors. Recognizing that many students encounter barriers in finding work experience while in college, CMOP Fellowships focus on providing Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Immigrant, Differently Abled, LGBTQ+, Children of Incarcerated Parents, young adults recently aged-out of the foster care system, and other high potential students with meaningful and impactful opportunities. The Fellows will engage with Museum and business professionals, gain on-the-job experience, network with others in the field, enhance their own skills, and contribute their talent to the CMOP community.

The Children's Museum of Phoenix is looking for a creative, skilled individual to contribute to our Exhibits team. Our Exhibits intern will gain invaluable experience learning in a non-profit by taking on several exciting projects that will make a big contribution to our Exhibits Department. The Exhibits Intern will assist in all aspects of exhibition design and production, as well as the day-to-day maintenance, repair, and cleaning of exhibits. The Exhibits Intern can expect to build an impressive portfolio upon completion of the internship while gaining the necessary experience to enter a career field related to arts, museums, non-profits, or exhibits management.
