Humanities in Place Program Intern

Mellon Foundation (Mellon) is a not-for-profit, grantmaking organization that believes that the arts and humanities are where we express our complex humanity, and that everyone deserves the beauty, transcendence, and freedom to be found there. Through its grants, Mellon seeks to build just communities enriched by meaning and empowered by critical thinking, where ideas and imagination can thrive. Mellon makes grants in four core program areas: Higher Learning, Arts and Culture, Public Knowledge, and Humanities in Place. Mellon seeks a Program Intern to provide support for the Humanities in Place program area. The internship has a start date in June 2025 and is available as a 10-week, full-time position. This is a hybrid (in-person and remote) work environment, and work in August is entirely remote.

Summary
