Host Site Applications Are Now Open
Summer 2023 will be the fifth year of the DITA internship program, and we're excited for another summer of arts and culture with some of Denver's brightest young leaders! We're looking for arts & culture nonprofit organizations that are committed to DEI and leadership development to make up our Host Site cohort for 2023.
Host Site organizations are matched with a college student who identifies as part of a community that is traditionally underrepresented in the arts (including communities of color, the LGBT+ community, people with disabilities, and more) to work full-time over the summer. The DITA internship is a 10-week paid internship where interns receive practical experience in the nonprofit arts sector that prepares them to be DEI-driven leaders.. Participating Host Sites receive a grant covering part of the interns' wages based on their FTE (full-time equivalent). Want to know more before you apply?

What's in it for Host Sites?
A Dedicated Intern
DITA selects a cohort of interns from a pool of dozens of applicants who are passionate about the arts. DITA interns bring their creativity and equity mindset to host sites for work on projects ranging from education to marketing to stage managing, and beyond! Many of our Host Sites have built strong bonds with their intern and gone on to hire them for future projects and roles.
An Outside DEI Perspective:
Throughout the summer, DITA interns attend workshops and networking events where they learn the skills necessary to advocate for DEI within the workplace, and meet professionals with experience implementing DEI changes. Interns have the option of providing their Host Site with a DEI proposal at the end of the summer, offering practical changes for making workplaces more inclusive.
