Internships

We are currently seeking applicants for the following internships:

Archaeology/Preservation Internships

Mount Vernon's professional archaeologists love working with undergraduate, graduate and recent graduate students.  We are currently seeking interns for spring and summer 2012.  Read more about our intern opportunities.  Unfortunately, we offer no lodging or stipends, and cannot pay any expenses.

Collections Internships

The Collections Department is not offering any internship opportunities at this time.

Interpretation - Historic Trades Internships

Each year, Mount Vernon’s Department of Historic Trades accepts a select number of applicants for summer internships. With focus on the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site and George Washington’s Distillery & Gristmill, these internships provide an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to become immersed in 18th-century history, agriculture, and industry.

After completing a brief training program, interns will work as full-time Historic Trades Interpreters for a period of 10 weeks under the direction of our professional interpretive staff. Interns live on the grounds of George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate during the internship. In addition, interns participate in special field trips to other historic sites and museums in the region.

Candidates interested in Historic Trades internships should have a background in history or agriculture, be comfortable with public speaking, and be available during the entire internship period (June 4 to August 10, 2012). Interns will be expected to work a five-day, 40-hour work week that will include some weekends. Interns receive reimbursement for travel expenses to and from Mount Vernon, a stipend of $225 per week (before taxes), and complimentary lodging on the Estate.

All applications are due February 20, 2012. Please email PFGMinterns@mountvernon.org or call 703-799-8611 with questions.
