Science for Success Teen Internships
The Science for Success Teen Internship invites students from Cleveland-area high schools to engage in a variety of project- and mission-based opportunities at the Museum and in the community. Working primarily with the Museum's Education and Community Engagement Departments, our interns are an integral part of planning and executing programs that support the Museum's mission and reach underserved and underrepresented audiences.
Museum professionals serve as role models and mentors as they guide interns through youth-development experiences and the building of hands-on science skills. The internship prepares teens to pursue careers in STEM, museums, and other fields while providing them with practical work experience, interpersonal skills, high school and career mentorship, and the resources to help lead their families and communities toward a sustainable future. Science for Success is a year-round opportunity.
Hours & Compensation
The Science for Success program is a one-year internship that begins in September and concludes in August of the following year. Interns are expected to work from 10 am to 4 pm on two weekends a month during the school year, and from 9 am to 4 pm on two to three days per week during the summer, up to 28 hours per week. Interns are paid $14/hour.
