Lincoln Center
Lincoln Center / New York City

About
The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts Internship Program provides a unique learning opportunity for individuals interested in careers in performing arts administration and related fields. While internships are offered throughout the year, the majority of internships are available during the summer. Volunteer interns are placed in one of the many dynamic departments of the world's leading performing arts center in the midst of its busy season of summer festivals.

The Program offers invaluable hands-on training and experience through participation in projects and assignments that allow for the practical application of academic knowledge and the development of business skills necessary for a career in the arts. Interns work side by side with arts professionals in such areas as production, public relations, financial management, marketing, arts education, visual arts, library sciences, and fundraising as they experience the day-to-day workings of a large, world-class performing arts center.

Designed to provide not only practical training but also encouragement, inspiration, and role models for a new generation, the summer program offers significant opportunities for networking with senior-level administrators through educational workshops. Interaction with fellow interns and professionals on staff allow for the creation of valuable contacts for the future.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is committed to providing a quality learning and training experience for its interns.

Commitment
Most summer internships are full-time. Fall and Spring internships hours can be flexible. Undergraduate or graduate students who are able to obtain school credit are strongly preferred.

All internships are unpaid.

Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
PBS / Washington, DC Metro Area

About
The Public Broadcasting Service—created and owned by its Members, the nation's public television stations—exists to serve its Members with programming and services of the highest quality and the imaginative use of technology to advance education, culture and citizenship.

PBS, a private, nonprofit corporation founded in 1969, is a unique local-national partnership among public television stations. In pursuit of its mission, PBS seeks to build and strengthen that partnership so that Member Stations might accomplish together what individual stations could not accomplish alone: superior national programming, life-long learning, new technologies, and financial strength.

Interns at PBS will gain valuable experience working in one of our many departments ranging from General Counsel, Interactive, Corporate Communications, Education, and Content Services. Our managers have designed internship programs to help students and recent graduates explore career opportunities while exposing them to the variety of different roles in public broadcasting.

Commitment
PBS offers internships in the spring, summer, and fall of each year. Spring and fall internships are unpaid and for credit only, while the summer internships are paid. The intern and the manager work together to develop a schedule that is accommodating to both parties. It varies from position to position, but interns should expect to work no less than 20 and no more than 40 hours/week.
