LAUGH: No Joke: Making the Most of Your Internship or Volunteer Position
Thursday, April 25, 2013, 6:00 to 8:00 pm
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Panelists: Jennifer DePrizio, Director of Visitor Learning, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Dan Elias, Senior Assistant for Strategy, Peabody Essex Museum, and Purvi Patwari, Independent Human Resources Professional

Internships and volunteer positions may not be glamorous, have the best hours, or have the best pay (ha!), but these positions are no joke. Join the NEMA YEPs, a group of experienced human resources, volunteer, and internship managers, and hear from the YEPs Chairs, who have had phenomenal internship and volunteering experiences. Learn what skills can be honed through volunteering, how to shape a perfect match internship, and how to frame all of these experiences on your growing resume.
