Bexar County Commissioners Court established an arts internship program for local nonprofit arts organizations to provide one paid internship to an undergraduate student to assist with seasonal or special projects. Generation NEXT of the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts (Generation Next) will facilitate the program.
The grant allows ten nonprofits to obtain a paid intern for a ten-week period for the summer. Through the grant, the purpose of the program is to give undergraduate students meaningful on-the-job training and experience working with a nonprofit arts organization and to foster future leaders and advocates for the arts sector in Bexar County. Selected students will develop a closer understanding of how the arts benefit their community along with real-world applications of business skills that can be applied to their careers.
The Ten local art nonprofit organizations selected for the BCAIP Grant have selected their interns for this summer!
