Arts & Community Internships
Internships for young people aged 18 to 25 interested in working in the creative or community sectors.
This program is designed to help you get the skills and experience you need to find work in the areas of the arts and/or community development. Internships are project-based, with each intern supported to develop and deliver an arts and/or community development project. Interns will have access to a project budget to enable them to bring their project idea to life.
Who Can Apply
This program is open to people who:
- are aged 18 to 25 years old
- live, work or recreate in Hobsons Bay
- are unemployed or underemployed
Projects
The project component of our internship program is about supporting you to develop and deliver a project that gives you the opportunity to develop the specific skills and experience needed for the job/career you want.
As such, there is no right or wrong in terms of projects, but ideally they will be of benefit to the Hobsons Bay community.
Some examples include:
-
creating opportunities for people to come together and connect
-
raising awareness or taking action on an issue
-
creating a platform for emerging artists to share their work
-
providing opportunities for community members to gain new skills
-
producing a publication such as community newspaper, collection of stories etc...
If you don't have a firm project idea that's okay. In this case, please tell us about your interests and passions, any issues that matter to you and any things you think it would be great to see in the local community.
