This summer, El Pueblo History Museum is looking for high school students to assist the museum in educational programs, customer service, social media marketing, historic re-enactment, and other museum-related programs.
Each member of Museum Corps must be able to commit to an average of 6 hours a week for the summer – starting the week of June 13 through August 5. (Of course, we can work around family vacations and other obligations.) Teens who fulfill this obligation will earn a cash education award at the end of the summer. Participants will also earn a free t-shirt, lots of great real-world experience, and over 50 hours for school-related community service credit.
