Teen Intern Program

In the Jewish Museum's Teen Intern program, students entering grades 9 through 12 gain work experience by assisting professional educators in the Museum’s art studio and galleries, while exploring art and Jewish culture and developing their own creative interests. Accepted students can fulfill community service hours or internship requirements for their schools. Space is limited (program is competitive) and students must commit to all training sessions. This year's Teen Internship program is currently on haitus due to COVID-19.

High School Video Workshop


Teens participate in the High School Video Workshop.

In this free after-school program, students in grades 9–12 work with a teaching artist to learn the basics of video production, including storyboarding, cinematography, and editing. Using the Museum’s exhibitions as inspiration, students work in small groups to create their own films. No prior experience necessary—beginners are welcome!

Space is limited and students must commit to monthly training sessions. For more information, please e-mail teenprograms@thejm.org.

The High School Video Workshop Series is made possible through the generosity of the Gray Foundation, May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. and the Pamela and Richard Rubinstein Foundation. Additional support is provided through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with City Council and Council Member Peter Koo.
