SCHS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The SCHS offers an intensive hands-on internship program to college students to gain practical experience in a local history museum.  Interns must be either undergraduate or graduate students with some background or interest in history, museum studies, and/or education.  Applicants should be enthusiastic, creative, and have strong written and oral communication skills.  Interning at SCHS will give students a great introduction to the field of local history and non-profit work, and will help build contacts and personal interests.

Summer 2013 Internships - The SCHS seeks interns for summer 2013 to assist in a number of museum projects. 

TWO Exhibit interns
