About Internships at CCM
Internships at CCM are highly involved and revolve around focus projects as outlined at the onset of the internship. We offer real-world experience and strive to make each internship applicable to the student’s future goals.

About the Education and Outreach Internship
The Education and Outreach intern will focus on our annual family concert. The intern is responsible for developing partnerships with organizations throughout the city and suburbs, organizing distribution of collateral, developing and sending press releases, arranging for pre- and post-concert performances, organizing our special outreach tickets, assisting with the development of collateral and helping with all family concert activities that arise.

Internship Details
This internship will begin in June and end either in August or in November. Preference will be given to those students who are able to commit June through November. The intern is expected to work between 10-15 hours per week and attend all family concert performances.

Kemper Fellowship
CCM offers undergraduate students paid internship positions three times a year: fall, winter/spring and summer. This excellent opportunity allows students to gain hands-on, arts administration experience who might not otherwise be able to accept an internship because of their economic situation. CCM is one of six arts partners of the Kemper Fellows Program along with: Court Theatre, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Pegasus Players, The Ragdale Foundation and Silk Road Theatre Project. Kemper Fellows at all six organizations will have the opportunity to learn from each other through special Kemper Fellows Program activities.
