Host organizations: The 2023 application is now closed.
Interns: The 2024 application will open in April. Please join our mailing list to receive an email when the application is open, as well as periodic updates about the Arts Internship Program.
Milwaukee Recreation's award-winning Arts Internship Program is a paid summer internship program that provides high school students with practical job experience in arts-related positions. Interns explore the arts in an in-depth and applicable way while also gaining 21st-century job skills. For many students, these internships serve as their first paid job experience. Internships range from 40 to 400 hours between May and August and start at a minimum of $11.00 per hour.
Organizations are responsible for interviewing and hiring interns, setting intern schedules, and providing oversight and management of selected interns. In turn, Milwaukee Recreation provides funding for intern wages and benefits, transportation (in the form of unlimited M-Cards for the duration of the internship), as well as job-related training and career exploration.
Student interns work closely with a supervisor/mentor during their internship to meet the following objectives:
