Each year, DITA presents a cohort of arts & culture nonprofits of varying sizes and focuses for a variety of internship experiences. This year, we are excited to be working with 13 organizations. Host sites are carefully selected from a pool of applicants by the DITA team and pay each intern $18.81/hour.
What Does Interning with DITA Look Like?
Our 10-week internship program runs over the summer. Interns work directly for our host organizations and receive practical experience in the arts and culture community. Operating as a cohort, interns attend workshops organized by DITA, form relationships with professionals in our community, and oversee shared learning experiences with their fellow interns
Interns will be expected to complete two formal questionnaires over the course of the program (guideline provided by DITA) as well as attend an orientation and an exit interview with the Program Administrator. Interns have the option of presenting a DEI proposal to their internship location at the end of the summer.
Host sites are carefully selected from a pool of applicants by the DITA team who will pay each intern Denver's minimum hourly wage. Interns will work no more than 40 hours a week, including approximately 5 hours of DITA learning requirement hours per week. DITA Learning Requirements, orientation, and exit interviews are paid hours.
