LOLA is looking for 2026 Summer Arts Teaching Interns!
Share your creativity and passion for the arts and your talent through teaching.
Program Details
LOLA Arts seeks two Summer Teaching Interns for June–July 2026: one in visual arts and one in performing arts. Interns will design and lead classes primarily for children ages 7+, with some adult instruction opportunities.
Under the supervision of LOLA staff, interns will help develop curriculum, prepare materials, and deliver engaging arts programming. This internship provides hands-on teaching experience, mentorship in arts education, and work in a creative, community-focused environment.
"Teaching at LOLA gave me the confidence to run my own classroom. It was an adventure seeing kids, who had never experienced theatre before, trying and succeeding at it. The support you get along the way from the staff, board, and community makes you feel like you truly belong in Land O' Lakes. This internship was one of the best experiences of my life."
-Mary Sportiello
"My time teaching at LOLA was transformative in my education in nonprofit art organizations and how to be a well-rounded educator for the students. I will forever cherish the memories I made helping artists of all ages bring their creative ideas to life. The classroom was always filled with laughter, intention, support, and imagination, everything I could hope for and more in an internship. The people I met, educational opportunities, and memories I made at LOLA are priceless and I am so grateful for the experience."
