Virtual High School Internship

Applications for the AAA 2026 Virtual High School Internship Program will reopen in early 2026.

Each summer, the American Anthropological Association offers virtual internship opportunities for high school students interested in learning more about anthropological research. The internship will run approximately 10 hours a week.

Interns work on a primary and secondary project during their time in the program. The primary project involves researching contemporary anthropological scholarship and adapting it for a 6th-12th grade audience. Secondary projects rotate each year but typically focus on accessibility or public education.

Questions about the internship can be sent to Ellen Christensen.
