Overview
The Kennedy Center Internship Program provides valuable on-the-job instruction for individuals considering a profession in arts management. Internships in departments throughout the Kennedy Center are full-time, last 12 weeks, and are offered in the Fall and Spring.
About the Internships
Internships offer meaningful learning opportunities and on-the-job experiences to college juniors/seniors, graduate students, and recent college graduates (within two years of graduation) who are interested in beginning careers in performing arts management and/or arts education. Approximately 20 students are selected each semester to participate in a three to four month long, full-time (37.5-40 hours per week) internship (Fall, September-December; Winter/Spring, January-May). Internships may be available in advertising, development, education (local and national programs), National Symphony Orchestra, press relations, production, programming, technology, volunteer management, and finance.
Each intern, with their supervisor, develops a list of learning objectives and goals that they would like to accomplish as well as being assigned a project to be completed during their time at the Kennedy Center. Each intern maintains a working portfolio, attends required intern events, and participates in mid-semester and final evaluations.
Interns receive a stipend of $225 per week to help defray housing and transportation costs. College credit may be available. Reduced work hours may also be available depending upon course work requirements during the semester. Interns attend weekly sessions that are led by executives of the Kennedy Center and other major arts institutions in Washington, D.C. Interns may attend performances, workshops, and classes presented by the Center, free of charge (space available), during their internship.
Note: All materials must arrive in one package and must be written in English or have a certified translation.
