Choir Intern

Unpaid

Based at Columbia University, Every Voice Choirs (EVC) offers singing programs for all children ages 7-17. EVC empowers young people by teaching them to share their voices confidently through their singing and throughout their lives. Singers work together to create powerful concerts on themes of social & environmental justice.

Interns collaborate with EVC directors for all aspects of planning, teaching, and performing with the choirs. Interns work closely with EVC’s singers, creating student-centered, inclusive classrooms that promote high-level engagement and learning - the hallmark of EVC’s work across all levels of its programs. Interns participate in EVC’s performances as both singers and conductors, in both community events and formal concerts at Merkin Hall and Carnegie Hall.
