High School
Each summer the Pratt Museum offers paid high school internships for local area students.

Interns receive training in public interpretation and assistance in pursuing their interests in the sciences, art, and history.
College

Pratt Museum staff and volunteers are always willing to work with interested undergraduate and graduate-level students to build skills in education and interpretation, nonprofit management and operations, fundraising and event planning, and museum collections curation through hands-on activities and projects.
