Nationwide
Atlanta is not the only area that offers great arts opportunities. You can find job and internship listings all over the country, including your home town! Below are some specific jobs/internships that students can apply for.
Volunteer Opportunities
Many volunteer opportunities also exist in the arts in Atlanta and at Emory. Almost every group, be they professional, student or faculty-directed, needs ushers, set builders, or general help. Contact the organization you are interested in volunteering for, and they will almost certainly put you to work! As far as social volunteering, visit www.handsonatlanta.org for information on how you can get involved in organizations that need music, theater, dance, or writing instructors and volunteers.
Ask your department
Talk to your arts department chair or secretary about internship coordination. Many departments, such as Art History, have a faculty member assigned to help students arrange internships for credit.
