Summer Internship
Mennonite Life offers a paid summer internship in two areas: the archives and the museum. Working alongside staff members, interns will gain insight into the daily operation of a museum and archive. While the intern will work primarily in one of the two areas, they will be introduced to both throughout their time at Mennonite Life. Interns will also receive career counselling and coaching.
To apply, submit a cover letter stating your preferred area of focus (Archives or Museum), a resumé, and two letters of reference to archives@mennonitelife.org. Applications for the summer of 2026 are due March 31.
