Internships: Wolf Trap

Wolf Trap internships and apprenticeships give budding professionals a competitive edge—whether they seek jobs in the arts or any other field.

Wolf Trap is currently accepting applications for summer internships and apprenticeships. Get more information and apply for internships HERE. Get more information and apply for Opera apprenticeships HERE. Applications are being accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. No applications will be considered after March 1.

Summer 2024 interns must be physically located in and have a local address in Virginia, Maryland, or the District of Columbia during the duration of their internship.

Interns are required to be onsite for the majority of their workweek. Ideally, onsite days should align with the Foundation’s hybrid schedule which currently requires all staff to be onsite on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If interns cannot be onsite on these days, an onsite schedule should be discussed during the interview process.

Hired interns will be provided a laptop and necessary software for the expected duration of their assignment.

To apply, click the “Apply Now” button at the bottom of each position description. If applying for more than one internship, you must submit separate applications for each position.

You must complete the entire online application within three days to be considered for an internship.
