Volunteers
The Albany
Institute relies on volunteers to help with educational programs,
special events, administrative support and in the library. Our
volunteers are involved in many aspects of AIHA and are essential to
AIHA's success. Please contact Jeannie Garber, Membership & Events
Coordinator at 518-463-4478 x414 or at
garberj@albanyinstitute.org for more information.
Volunteer Docents
Docents provide programs for K-12th grade school groups, lead
gallery tours for adult groups and contribute assistance for special
events. Through gallery interpretation and programming, docents make
the objects and exhibitions in the museum relevant to visitors.
Participants who are specifically interested in the docent program may
contact the Museum Education Office at 518-463-4478 or
education@albanyinstitute.org for more information.
Intern Program
The Albany
Institute welcomes talented and intelligent students who are looking for
an opportunity to work in a museum setting. An internship at AIHA offers
practical museum experience as well as an opportunity to gain general
knowledge and broad understanding of a specific department. Interning at
AIHA will give you the unique chance to learn about museum work by
working directly with museum professionals. If you are interested in a
career in museums after college, an internship here will expose you to
the inner workings of a museum while giving you the opportunity to make
an impact. Internships at the Albany Institute are unpaid. Students are
encouraged to ask their respective schools about the process for
receiving academic credit. Internships are offered in the following
departments: administration, business office, curatorial, development,
education, library, museum shop, and public relations. Please contact
Jeannie Garber, Membership & Events Coordinator at 518-463-4478 x414 or
at
garberj@albanyinstitute.org for more information.
