The Program Intern will provide support in a variety of ways to the Media Arts Education & Mentoring Program during Summer Media Arts Camp workshops that include photography, film, narrative illustration, and mixed media. They will also work closely with the Development and Communications team with marketing and communications needs throughout the Fall Season.
Starting in June the Summer Media Arts Camp the Program Intern will work approximately 15 hours a week. Along with onboarding, the intern’s primary responsibility during this time will be working alongside the Administrative + Development Associate to ensure our facilities, equipment, and files are ready for the start of camp.
During the 4 weeks of the Summer Media Arts Camp (July 7 - August 1) the Program Intern will work 25 hours a week, Monday through Friday 8:30am-2pm supporting our workshops and ensuring students and their families feel welcome. The intern’s primary responsibility for this month is overseeing the student check-in process for the morning and afternoon classes and monitoring any students who stay at Venice Arts for lunch from 12-1pm. Additionally, the intern will serve as a classroom aid to prepare workshop materials, and assist with general administrative tasks.
During the remainder of the internship, the Program Intern will work approximately 15-20 hours a week, the schedule is to be determined. During this period the Program Intern will work alongside the Outreach + Opportunities Coordinator to assist with preparations for upcoming public events such as College Day, Career Day, and other single day workshops; as well as our culminating celebration to take place approximately December 13th. When their schedule permits, the intern will also attend outreach events and school presentations. The Program Intern will also assist with Development and Communications efforts such as: providing support in the planning and execution of our annual large fundraising event, marketing and dissemination of program and development communications (updates, photos, stories, program, and fundraising events) on all social media platforms.
The ideal Programs Intern has an interest in arts education, arts programs and administration, fundraising, and/or nonprofit management. They should be familiar with Apple computers, Google suite and Adobe software. Candidates should be organized, motivated, and comfortable working with youth in a community-based setting. Customer service experience or previous experience working in a public facing role is a plus.
Since 1993, Venice Arts has served to ignite, expand, and transform the lives of Los Angeles’ low-income youth through photography and film education, and to use its participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world. We do this by building creative equity for low-income youth through media arts education, college success, and creative career pathway programs where we put creativity at the center of youth development. Through sequential learning -- from beginning to advanced levels -- students develop art, digital, and media literacy, including developing an understanding of how the still or moving image shapes their perceptions of themselves and their world.
