Attention to details, an interest in history, and strong communication skills are helpful. Basic computer skills required. We offer flexible scheduling to fit around classes. Occasional evenings and/or weekends may be needed based on the specific internship placement.

Summary: Women’s stories are often left out of our school curriculum or are a fleeting mention. However, women’s lasting impact on history permeates every facet of our collective history. The America 250-Ohio IWASM intern will be part of the museum’s grant-funded project to develop in-classroom resources for teachers about the lasting impact of women in air and space. Working closely with the Executive Director, Collections Manager, and education volunteers, the intern will gain experience in museum/public history research, program development, outreach, marketing, and community engagement. With a focus on Ohio women’s roles in air and space history, the intern will be able to bring women’s history to life for students in grades 7-12.

Compensation: The America 250-Ohio IWASM intern position will be provided a total stipend of $2,000, paid in even disbursements every two weeks.
