Internships

Internships are a great way to gain real-world work experiences and learn skills that just can't be taught in a classroom. At Elgin Public Museum, we are always accepting interest from potential interns who would like to learn more about working in the non-profit sector or would like to gain work experience in an educational or museological setting.

Contact the museum and let us know what experiences you are interested in!
