Concert Internship

The intern will receive the opportunity to dive head first into a local non-profit, learning the ins-and-outs of what happens behind the scenes to put on multiple performances throughout a year. Putting on multiple hats, the intern will go through multiple stages, shadowing a multitude of people, and at the end try their hand at being an executive director at a concert. Day-to-day tasks resemble responding to emails regarding concert information, preparing items to take to the concert venue, curating social media posts about the events, attending a production meeting for each concert, and preparing for the concert day-of. This experience allows them to try each niche of a concert night and find what their passionate about and what they are confident about. They will work directly with the office administrator for tasks and goal setting.
