The Museum of Jewish Heritage is currently seeking applications for the Fall 2024 semester to participate in the Holocaust Educator School Partnership internship at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. As part of the internship, interns are trained to teach the history of the Holocaust in the Museum’s galleries as well as in a classroom setting. Following an eight-day intensive training in August, interns will work with students in partnering middle and high schools to teach this history in schools and in the Museum. Interns are paid for each tour and classroom presentation throughout the semester and are reimbursed for approved travel expenses.

 

This year, the museum is looking to expand their program into New Jersey, Connecticut, and Upstate New York, and welcome applicants from students in these areas as well as in the New York Metropolitan Area. Additionally, they are actively looking for students who are fluent in languages other than English, particularly Spanish speakers, Chinese speakers, and Russian speakers, and who would be willing to work with students in these languages.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for students interested in teaching in Museums, as well as those interested in teaching in middle school, high school, or university contexts. Many interns go on to consider professional careers in related areas following their participation. For students interested in exploring careers in museum education, this internship provides incredible opportunities to learn and practice strategies for object-focused gallery teaching, preparing students to work as museum educators in museums focusing on history as well as other topics following their participation.

 

Applications are due on May 3, 2024, at 5 PM Eastern. The application, with instructions to complete all steps, may be found here: https://mjhnyc.wufoo.com/forms/m1gr78y71uc4985/
