Since 2003, Music@Menlo’s Arts Management Internship Program has trained over 300 college students and recent college graduates in the essentials of arts administration and nonprofit management. Each summer, Music@Menlo hires interns to work in all departments of the organization, including development, event planning, patron services, merchandising, marketing and communications, operations, production, and student services. Music@Menlo interns are paid employees who work side-by-side with the festival’s staff and are highly visible members of the Music@Menlo team.

Through on-the-job training and hands-on experience, interns gain practical experience and develop professional skills to take them into the next stage of their career development. In keeping with Music@Menlo’s mission, a unique component of the program is a series of educational seminars, most of which take place prior to the festival. Topics include nonprofit finance, strategic planning for nonprofit organizations, fundraising, and arts marketing.
