Elementary Arts Facilitator InternAt — Million Little
Million Little Interns will help prepare for and deliver art-based social emotional learning for our early childhood offering, Creativity in the Classroom & Beyond (CIC). This beloved program invites elementary students (K-3) to play and work together through literacy and art and promotes equitable access to creative exploration. Interns will support ML Facilitators in the preparation and transportation of materials, co-facilitation of content at the school site each week, and logging of field notes for this highly engaging, strengths-based program. Interns also engage in Million Little’s ongoing education throughout the term, focusing on trauma-informed care, a strengths-based approach/inclusive language, and setting boundaries.

Interns engage in formalized orientation and ongoing training in Trauma-Informed Care, Strengths-Based Approach/Language, and Setting Boundaries/Navigating Challenging Conversations with Youth. Additionally, they will be supervised at all times by an Arts Educator staff who will facilitate group debriefs at the end of each in-school session. Additional scenario training will be provided as needed in topics requested by interns.
Interns must pass a live scan and may be asked to show proof of vaccination and negative TB test (depending on partner site). ML staff keeps emergency contact and allergy records for all interns on hand.
