The Lanterman Historical Museum Foundation is inviting local high school students to apply for its third annual Virtual History Internship Program. The seven-week program will be conducted remotely and is open to students in grades 10 through 12 interested in learning about and preserving local history.

This year, the theme of the interviews is “Creating Community.” Interns will create oral history interviews with members of local service and community organizations. The program includes training in research methods, interview techniques, how to process and preserve an interview, and legal and ethical guidelines. Interns will attend four Zoom meetings to receive training and feedback. They will use free recording apps on their smartphones to record the interviews, which will be permanently archived in the Lanterman House Archives.

Students who attend a local high school or who live in the Crescenta-Cañada Valley are eligible to apply. They must fill out a short application and submit a recommendation. Application and recommendation forms can be found on the Lanterman House website at https://www.lantermanhouse.org/internship-application. Applications are due by May 15 and the program begins on June 14.
