Internships

The Adirondack Folk School (AFS) offers student interns practical experience as well as an opportunity to gain general knowledge and a broad understanding of the day-to-day operations in a busy not-for-profit arts center.

Interns will work closely with AFS staff and volunteers and assist in the following areas:

Office/Administrative: including student registration and support, general administrative tasks, database management, and development of AFS courses.
PR and Marketing: including developing new media and organizational contacts, attending trade shows, and disseminating AFS information.
Facilities: including studio equipment/tool repairs and maintenance, preparation of room for classes, and support for instructors during classes.
Fund Development: including assisting with special events, researching and assisting with grants, and developing new organizational contacts and partners.
Other special projects as assigned by AFS staff.

Student interns must be reliable, motivated, and able to work independently. For-credit and not-for-credit internships are available for all school semesters and breaks, including winter break. All interested candidates should send a resume with references and a cover letter to info@adirondackfolkschool.org or call 518-696-2400 for more information.
