Storytelling Internship Applications Now Open!

The Montevallo Legacy Project (MLP), in partnership with the Jean O'Connor-Snyder Internship Program, is thrilled to announce an exciting internship opportunity for September 2026 – June 2027. We’re looking for two enthusiastic interns to join our heartwarming project, Our Stories, Our Strength.

As an intern, you’ll receive a $2,000 stipend and get to immerse yourself as a community organizer in the vibrant Montevallo community. You’ll develop a storytelling campaign, collaborate with local residents, and use your creativity to share their stories through multimedia techniques. You’ll also design and moderate live storytelling events, all with the support and training from our dedicated team at UM’s Office of Engaged Education and Public Service, MLP staff, the Dave Mathews Center, and UM’s Department of Communication.
