College and University 
 
Interns at the Chandler Museum are a valued part of the Museum staff.

The Downtown ChandlerMuseum strives to give interns meaningful, hands-on activities that lead to tangible results, both for interns and the Museum.
 
Internships are offered in the collections and education departments.  General Museum internships are also available.  Internships are 15 weeks, 10 hours/week.
 
Intern applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to apply.  To apply, email, fax, or send:

  4. 2 references
