This summer the Brooklyn Museum is thrilled to host our first cohort of Brooklyn Museum Summer Fello

This summer the Brooklyn Museum is thrilled to host our first cohort of Brooklyn Museum Summer Fellows. The Brooklyn Museum Summer Fellowship is a full-time, ten-week, paid internship offered to undergraduate students looking to pursue a career in the arts and culture space who may not have the opportunity or ability to take advantage of the often unpaid internships that are typically offered at many arts and culture institutions. The fellowship aims to increase the pipelines of opportunity in communities where non-profit arts jobs are unknown and often not even considered. The two-year initiative is generously funded through the Citi Foundation’s ‘Pathways to Progress’ initiative, which seeks to help reduce youth unemployment and improve the quality of the youth workforce.Throughout the summer, Brooklyn Museum Summer Fellows will spend time in many different departments across the Museum, including Curatorial, Marketing & Communications, Education, the Registrar’s Office, Development, Exhibitions, Design, and more as they gain hands-on experience working in a world-renowned encyclopedic museum. The program will include weekly field trips to other institutions throughout the New York City area, where fellows will have a chance to meet the leadership teams and learn more about their career paths. Fellows will also attend special presentations and panel discussions by leadership and staff at the Brooklyn Museum. 2018 Brooklyn Summer FellowsZakiyya M.
