The Ford Foundation Equity Initiative Internship Program Overview and Time Commitment

The FFEI Internship Program's mission is to offer opportunities in museum work to emerging professionals who identify with historically marginalized groups and to invite our interns to think outside the box and explore their careers in new ways.

Participants will engage in the program through various bi-weekly professional development workshops hosted on our Dearborn campus. It is mandatory for participants to attend, and applicants should work with their leadership to ensure proper attendance. Workshops typically occur on Wednesdays during the work week.

Attendance to our Intern Orientation is also mandatory. Our Winter 2026 orientation will occur on January 26th.
