"This opportunity was by far the most influential of all my previous internships/jobs...Being a part of this team inspired me and gave me confidence in my ability to connect to people of all ages and my ability to make others feel better just by being supportive. "
"In working, with the JDPP’s Children of the Incarcerated Project, my peers and I shared an experience that not only personally impacted us, but impacted our work. By work, I am referring to our commitment to community engagement that goes beyond our different disciplines: International Studies, Neuroscience, Human Rights, or Educational Studies."

intern is available. Hours are negotiable depending on which program the intern chooses. If you are interested in an internship, please
submit a resume to Managing Director, Carla Iovinella Corcoran. Depending on the type of internship you apply for, the initial contact with
Carla will be followed by an on-site interview at the office, rehearsal or residency sites.

supervision of the Managing Director. Daily tasks may include assisting with information distribution, marketing, public relations,
office organization, bookkeeping, and research. Depending on the semester an intern will ideally be given a specific project to follow
