NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) is now accepting applications for the summer 2023 Museum Education Internship, part of the DervenScholars program. Applications are due by May 11.
The summer 2023 Derven Scholar will work with THNOC education staff to plan, create and facilitate educational programs or develop resources that can be used in K-12 classrooms. The Scholar will participate in a hybrid program that combines virtual and in-person experiences. Mentorship and career chats with THNOC staff are woven through this summer-long internship.
“The Derven Scholars program honors the legacy of Daphne L. Derven, whose educational vision and commitment to outreach continues to inspire staff and students at THNOC,” says Daniel Hammer, THNOC President and CEO. “We look for students who can devote about 10 hours per week to the program and who demonstrate a passion for history, education or museums.”
Applications for summer 2023 will be accepted from high school students entering their senior year or currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students. Each Derven Scholar will receive a $1,500 stipend.
