The High School Internship program offers a small group of students from Los Angeles-area public schools an opportunity to learn and work at the museum.
The program provides participants with an introduction to the museum as both a workplace and an exhibition site. Interns meet after school one day per week, from late September through April. They are introduced to the museum and its exhibitions and staff, take part in special projects, and work with exhibiting artists. Through intensive training sessions, participants gain knowledge about special exhibition and gallery teaching techniques and work on public-speaking skills. At the conclusion of their training, interns lead exhibition tours for younger students and peers one morning per week.
The application and interview process for the program commencing in September takes place during the spring of the previous school year.
