The High School Apprenticeship Program offers New York City public high school students a challenging program of study and work designed to give them a behind-the-scenes look at what it is like to work in the Museum and explore Jewish heritage and their own. After an extensive spring training, Apprentices work part-time (4 days a week) during the summer in different Museum departments; lead tours, circumstances allowing; and are introduced to the curatorial, educational, administrative, and operational sides of the Museum.
