YPT Internships
YPT offers professional internships in Arts Administration and Arts Education throughout the year. Available in semester, year-long, or summer units, YPT’s internships provide participants with an education in nonprofit management, administration, and arts education. Interns are treated as temporary staff members and are contracted for approximately 10 to 30 hours per week, depending on a candidate’s availability, in exchange for either course credit or a small stipend. Working with YPT is a great way to learn about all aspects of running a small nonprofit theater or to gain hands-on experience in arts education. No housing or transportation is provided.  If you are interested in an internship with YPT, download the internship application below and send it in, along with a cover letter and resume, to:
