Internship
The Rhinelander Historical Society encourages interns in the areas of History, Education, Graphic Design, Exhibit Design, and Non-Profit Management. The Rhinelander Historical Society is looking for interns who are enthusiastic about sharing their skills while gaining job experience in their area of study.
The Rhinelander Historical Society’s small size allows for great flexibility for interns. We welcome the opportunity to create a customized program that fits the interests of the intern as well as the needs of the Society. Some examples of internship opportunities include:
- Marketing: Marketing and promotional materials, including posters and rack cards.
- History: Historical research on a variety of topics; historic preservation; program planning, and walking tours.
- Education: Develop and implement educational programs for local schools, home school students, outreach programs, and summer camps; ensure current programming follows up-to-date state standards
