Step Into Art is a non-profit museum education organization that provides dynamic, content-rich programs for children in partnership with Boston schools. Each of our programs features art from a selected Boston museum and engages children in art-viewing, art-making, and writing. For the 2017-2018 school year, our internships will focus primarily on Step Into Art third-grade programs, which introduce children to great works of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the MFA, Boston. Step Into Art interns will become familiar with our interactive, multi-modal teaching methods and curricula, and will have opportunities to co-teach programs in both the museum and classroom settings. Working closely with Step Into Art founder Abby Rischin, interns will also have the chance to become involved with our sixth-grade programs and with other aspects of the organization according to their interests. Prospective interns must have at least one day free during school hours, ideally Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

To apply, please send a resume and brief letter of interest to Abby Rischin: abby@stepintoart.org.
