Want to help tell the stories from the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage?

Our Folklife Storytellers Workshop is an internship program that offers a professional skill-building and exchange experience for students and recent graduates interested in producing multimedia content for Folklife Magazine, the Folklife Festival Blog, and social media channels. In 2025, the workshop will focus on storytelling from the Festival program, “Youth and the Future of Culture.”

These six-month internships will be full-time and in person in D.C. from June to August 2025 and part-time September to November 2025. Applicants should express interest in one of two tracks: Social Media & Video Editing or Writing. Applications are due April 1.
