ILYouth2 Internship

This internship is an opportunity to work directly with the ILY2/ILYouth2 leadership team as we enter the second year of our youth arts program. The internship will largely consist of program support tasks and supporting our summer instructors and campers; but there is also the opportunity to develop a special project for ILYouth2 that explicitly aligns with the intern’s own professional goals, if desired (could be related to programming, the youth gallery/shop, etc).

Responsibilities:

• Assist with studio management (organizing, setting up for camp, cleanup, acquiring materials, etc).
• Assist instructors with programming as directed (may include working directly with campers, ages ~8-11).
• Assist with marketing/outreach (printing and putting up fliers, researching potential partners and compiling contact information, tabling at events, etc).
• Option to develop a special project.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Must have consistent and reliable transportation; a valid driver’s license and access to a car is ideal.
• Must be willing to undergo a background check (due to interactions with children).
• ILY2 & ILYouth2 are a small team, pitching in together on tasks large and small - so we are looking for a team player who doesn’t mind organizing, putting up fliers, or a quick errand!

Preferred Qualifications:

• The ideal candidate is someone who is passionate and interested in the arts, youth development, and larger creative arena; and is eager to learn.
• Previous experience in arts education is not required.
