Two Internships are offered per semester of the school year (Fall and Spring), one at each program location in Wynwood and Coconut Grove.

Interns will work to prepare a family-friendly community arts event on behalf of A4L. Interns may also help to market, produce and/or create products to sell at these events. Additionally, interns will participate in skill-building workshops. No prior arts experience is necessary, but applicants should have a strong interest in the arts and a willingness to learn in a diverse setting. Interns will be paid $8.46/hour.
