The New Professionals High School Internship Program is generously supported by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation, a regional affiliate of Foundation for the Carolinas and the Ingrid + John Amols Creative Community Development Fund.

This is a 5-week summer program for rising high school juniors and seniors. The paid internship program is designed for students to learn about art related careers and is an exciting opportunity for students to engage with McColl Center professionals and artists-in-residence, etc. as well as other art-related professionals in our community.

Interns will be involved through the following:

• Engaging in a variety of activities and projects to develop team building, leadership and marketing skills to enhance their professional experience and to promote McColl Center.

• Developing skills while learning how an art museum works (including the areas of Residency, Programs, Development and Administration, Operations, etc.)

• Participating in field trips to uptown museums and organizations related to college and career development, college financial planning, etc.

• Learning about college and career path options and daily roles and responsibilities in art related careers while also developing and applying job search skills.
