Internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing a great job. They can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from experienced professionals. At Art from Ashes, we support the community through creative empowerment workshops for youth. Yet we also have need for every skill required to run any business, including communications and marketing, HR and management, administration, fundraising and resource development, events coordination, and youth workshop facilitation. At the end of your internship, you’ll not only receive school credit for real-life learning opportunities, but you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full-time job offer, which means interning in Denver can also serve as the foundation to landing a full-time job in that city after graduation. Apply for an internship opportunity with Art from Ashes in a multitude of fields, and we'll set up an interview within a week of receiving your application. Please note that only two internships are available per semester: http://www.artfromashes.org/support/internship/

Art from Ashes workshop facilitators are not teachers, coaches or therapists (or even necessarily artists/poets). The youth are doing the work of creating, we are simply there as facilitators--holding a safe space for expression and delivering our award-winning curriculum. The transformational curriculum guides the youth through the process of expression, connection and transformation (please visit our website for more information on the Art from Ashes transformative creative process: www.artfromashes.org). Our Phoenix Rising youth empowerment program uses poetry and spoken word to help struggling youth, typically age 14 to 24, develop an awareness of their creative genius and their power to find hope and promise in their lives. SPECIALIZED TRAINING is required and depending on ability and intention, facilitators have the opportunity to move into a paid position within the agency. Above all, an Art from Ashes youth empowerment facilitator must be sensitive to the issues that confront struggling youth, and must have an understanding of the organization’s transformational and artistic process, as well as our core values and mission statement. Due to the sensitive nature of the program and the abandonment issues of the population with which we work, your consistency and commitment is a requirement to work with youth. People of color and those identifying as LGBTQ+ are strongly encouraged to apply.
