We have always embraced global reach via Google Culture, our digital museum exhibitions, magazine, newspaper, book publishing, and television broadcast (this includes YouTube, FB, and Vimeo productions).
With that in mind, we are routinely welcoming podcasts, recordings, blogging, remote broadcasts and more from dozens of opportunities and that includes several interns.
All that we have required is a typified objective summary for internships and practicums (the practicum is generally a requirement in many Master's degree programs and is very different than an internship) to be approved by the college or university. However, we have also accepted Scouts, Explorers, Sea Scouts, church internships and private family placement of internships where the parent, scout master, or religious leader approved the summary.
The creativity of objective is left entirely up to the Doctor and student at the university to approve of and then our board. Approval can take three days to complete. Essentially, an internship done long distance is best completed over several weeks and under the objective of the students desires to benefit their career by:
1. Producing excellent work.
2. Having their ethical statement completed.
3. Discerning do they want to create a slide show presentation, written work for digital publication, a film, an authored book in print/ebook/audiobook, full size exhibition, art, music, etc.
We allow the student to remove all forms of internship work at the museum not beneficial to their goals. Once they identify what they would like to create, research, build - we guide them towards long distance approval. Then they go to work with us via video conferencing (we have been doing that for ten+ years as pioneers).
In some cases students have sought to write a business plan, patent, or trademark within the museum field and we also assisted them to accomplish such.

Hi folks,
I am in the process of compiling a spreadsheet with virtual museum internships. I just want to compile a resource for students who are still looking for opportunities and those of us who are fortunate to still be able to have them.
Does anyone have any remote internship opportunities for this summer that I could add to this sheet? It seems to be an area of interest and need. While I do have a small sampling, I would love to expand on this list.
Additionally, I would love to talk to folks who have hosted remote internships before and/or are interested in learning how to do so.
