Teens can apply to be an intern in our fall, winter, or spring class sessions, as well as various workshops over the summer.
About the Teen Intern Program: Beginning in Summer 2022, NEMPAC created the Teen Intern Program, providing teens in 7th – 12th grade the opportunity to act as teaching assistants in our youth arts programs during the school year and summer. With the option to earn volunteer or school credit hours, or a small stipend, teens also build their leadership skills, and communication and organizational skills, while gaining experience working with young children!
