The Children’s Museum IDEA Fellows

With a commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA), the Children’s Museum of Phoenix (CMOP) is dedicated to a workforce that reflects our community and intentionally seeks candidates who are traditionally underserved, and are impacted by systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, physical, or other societal barriers. The Museum’s IDEA Fellows Program provides semester-long, paid fellowship opportunities in finance/administration, marketing, event planning, development, and exhibit/programs/education to full-time or part-time community college, undergraduate or graduate students, and exceptional high school seniors. Recognizing that many students encounter barriers in finding work experience while in college, CMOP Fellowships focus on providing Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Immigrant, Differently Abled, LGBTQ+, Children of Incarcerated Parents, young adults recently aged-out of the foster care system, and other high potential students with meaningful and impactful opportunities. The Fellows will engage with Museum and business professionals, gain on-the-job experience, network with others in the field, enhance their own skills, and contribute their talent to the CMOP community.
