About the role
High school students are also eligible for internships through formal programs or as summer volunteers. The internships vary in department and can include fundraising, educational program development, research, collections management, and exhibition development. Some internships also offer funding or academic credit through the educational institution. The Field Museum offers both paid and unpaid internships, and interns can expect to work alongside other interns, scientists, and researchers. Interns also receive free admission to the museum and other area museums and cultural institutions. Specific summer internship programs include the Women in Science Internships, the Chicago Green Ambassadors Program, the Digital Learning Internships, and the Walder Foundation Internships. Ongoing internship opportunities are listed on the museum's career page and can vary in time and department.
