Teen Apprentice Program
The Worcester Art Museum’s Teen Apprentice Program is a paid internship program with flexible hours designed for teenagers 16+ years old who have an interest in working in the arts, museums, or education. Apprentices will participate in a wide range of experiences designed to help with career readiness.
From the application and interview process to working with the public, from assisting with studio classes to designing and presenting a research project, each part of the Apprentice Program will offer value to both the apprentice and the Museum.
