Summer interns are an important part of the team at the Ah Haa School and are responsible for assisting with the marketing, graphics, facilities, and classes. Interns will have 220 - 240 hours of direct contact work time over a ten-week period. At the end of the session, interns will have an understanding of the operation of a non-profit organization including events planning, fundraising efforts, general office and maintenance duties, and preparation and instruction of art education. All interns are expected to stay for the entire session. Aside from the work experience, interns will be encouraged to spend a concentrated period of their time at the Ah Haa School pursuing their personal study in art or writing. Specific staff will be working directly with each intern to enhance the learning experience. Direct instruction and critique as well as studio space (dependent on specific needs) will be available.
