   STUDENT INTERNSHIP  

Parker Arts Council Offers Student Internships

PAC Internship Application

In an effort to create events that are of interest to teenage youth in the Parker area and involve them in our productions, PAC introduced an Internship Program for High School Students in August of 2005. This program was designed to introduce the students to a variety of experiences that encompass many of the Councils activities. Such activities include all facets of theatre production, advertising, working events, and creating presentations for their peer groups. The focus is to identify what the Parker Arts Council is doing in the community and provide feedback to PAC on student interest and comments.

The PAC offers high school students in grades 10th through 12th the opportunity to work for a period of 12 months earning a $500.00 stipend at the completion of the program as well as Letters of Recognition and Recommendation from the Board of the Parker Arts Council to use for college or future job applications. The PAC has immediate openings for students to apply for their internship program. Any student interested in learning what goes on 'behind the scenes' for the planning and production of PAC events should print the PAC Internship Application and mail to the address shown. Selected Interns are required to commit to at least 125 hours of time with the PAC, which includes attendance at Board Meetings and participation at all events. Additionally, they are the spokespersons to their respective schools to keep students informed of Community Service opportunities and upcoming events designed for youth participation.

Past Interns have been amazed that the program was more fun than work, and surpassed the required time commitment. Past interns also have returned to work with the PAC as board members.

If you are a High School student in Douglas County or know of any student that may be interested in this program, please submit your application (See "Applications" Below to Print an Application) to schedule an interview.
