Folk Culture is the study of the art, rituals and traditions that permeate our everyday lives. Whether it’s about style, food, music, stories, hobbies or beliefs, interns in the Community Folk Culture Program celebrate our heritage – learning from our past and present to understand our similarities and appreciate our differences. In this program, student interns ages 14-21 learn how to interview, videotape, and present folk artists from the community, create blogs, photos, videos, and a portfolio of their work.
This program is FREE. Participation stipends are offered for qualifying interns.
Summer 2024 Application deadline is Monday, April 15.
