WELCOME TO YOUR BAI APPLICATION! 

DEADLINE:  March 12, 2025

PLEASE NOTE: 
Organizations DO NOT NEED TO BE A nonprofit in order to apply! But, they do need to be connected to the arts and culture scene in Baltimore! (We can decide together what that means!)
We are thrilled that you have landed here whether as a veteran worksite partner or a BRAND NEW ONE! Our BAI family continues to grow and we are GRATEFUL! 

Wanna get excited? Check out our All about BAI video created by 2023 Ambassadors Jumi Omoshebi, Kaylee Eaton-Torres, Treasure Williams, Trellis Forrester, and Jordan Thomas with our Social Media Manager Alexandra Miller. #getexcited

As you now know, interns will work on meaningful creative and administrative projects at their placements (that's YOU!), start their Common Application, write their college essay, create a digital portfolio of all of their work, and present their summers to family, friends, supervisors, and community at our culminating event. What does this really look like?
  • After five days of Orientation to prepare, students start their internships. 
  • On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, students are completing their internships. Each worksite will work with its intern to determine if participation during their internship will be in person or hybrid. Interns should work 21 hours each week at their internship. (EXCEPTION TO THE RULE: In Week One, interns are with you Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1. They will come to Professional Development on Wednesday, July 2 and Thursday, July 3. *Interns are off July 4th - we hope you are too!. In Week 6.5, they will come to you for their last day on Monday, August 11 and will come to their last day of Professional Development on Tuesday, August 12.) 
  • On Thursdays and Fridays, students participate in professional development, engage with panels of artists and college admissions officers, and travel through the city's vibrant arts and cultural scene! 
REMEMBER, your organization will be paid a stipend of $1400.00 per intern to help offset the cost of staff time in supervising and guiding the intern(s). (With an additional $100 for showing up for Orientation and the Mid-Program Happy Hour. Though those are required events, people often don't show up and we hope this will be another incentive to ensure that they do! WE WANT AND NEED YOUR TALENTS AND EXPERTISE IN SPACE TOGETHER!)

Interns will have Canva Pro accounts and Splice accounts courtesy of Arts for Learning. If there are other trainings you require, please consider providing those for your intern(s) in the first days of the internship. 
APPLICATION NOTES
You can review your application before a final submit! At that time, you can save and/or print a copy of the application for your records. (We have found this very helpful if you return in following years!) 

Throughout the application you will find BAI MAGICAL MOMENT PHOTOS! We hope that these will get you excited about the summer! 

There are also RANDOM QUESTION ALERTS throughout! These are questions designed by our Youth Advisory Council to make the process a little more fun. They are also in the student application, so you can talk with your intern(s) about them! 
OK, LET'S GO!

PART ONE: JOB POSTING(S)

Please write a job posting for the position you are imagining for your intern.  If you are asking for two or three interns who will have different positions, please include two ore more postings. 

We have broken up the components for you to complete! 
 
Please note: 
  • We will use the job posting(s) for our Matching Event so that students have a true understanding of the position. 
  • It might be an intern's first peek at a job posting! 
  • We will also be incorporating how to read job postings into some of our professional development.
  • It's ALL connected! 
  • Fear not, we will give you an opportunity to revise this posting before the Matching Event in case things have changed!
  • Check out last summer's postings HERE!
LET'S DO IT! 

JOB POSTING #1 (This might be for ONE intern OR could be the same posting for 2-3 interns!)



Role Responsibilities (For your intern!) 
  • Ensure that there are both creative and administrative opportunities!
  • Are there projects with long-term goals that interns could engage in? We have seen that these types of projects lead to the development of deeper skills. 
  • What concrete, completed deliverables will interns create that will be used by the organization? (For example, interns have created online curriculum for a museum, a guidebook of programming available on the organization's website, recorded podcasts of staff to post on the organization's website, and revised an employee handbook.)
