The Saltz Internship Program is an education and employment program for high school students 14yrs old and up. Interns facilitate science conversations using artifacts, specimens, models, and scientific tools on mobile stations throughout the museum and at dioramas and displays in museum halls with museum visitors.
As an intern you can explore scientific and cultural content, improve communication skills, gain experience having science conversations, develop relationships with museum staff and other interns from across the city, while engaging with museum visitors from around the world! As a participant in the program you will also participate in college and career readiness workshops, and gain exposure to a variety of STEM careers.

Benefits
All interns can receive:
AMNH is a global museum in one of the most diverse cities in the world and we are committed to building an inclusive youth community that reflects that diversity. We understand science is improved by a diversity of perspectives working together to understand our world. We believe in addressing the barriers that prevent everyone from equally participating in science, particularly on the basis of race, gender, socio-economic status, and/or sexual orientation. We invite high school students across New York City to experience science in a way that is creative, social, and relevant. We are committed to providing opportunities to all students, with a focus on those who come from historically underrepresented backgrounds. We also accept students regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Join our community and explore human cultures, the natural world, and the universe at the Museum.
