This summer, we are looking for local high school students to help the museum in educational programs, customer service, social media marketing, historic reenactment, and other fun museum programs.
Each member of Museum Corps must be able to commit to an average of 6 hours a week for the summer – from June through August (of course we will work around family vacations and other obligations). Teens who fulfill this obligation will receive a $100 stipend at the end of the summer. Participants will also earn a free t-shirt, lots of great real-world work experience, an over 60 hours for school-related community service credit.
