The Chicago Poetry Center has regular, long-term internships that support many areas of the organization’s mission-driven work. Chicago Poetry Center interns are enthusiastic about poetry, the literary arts community, arts education, and nonprofit work. CPC interns receive a per-semester stipend and can expect to gain great experience in their time with the Chicago Poetry Center. Our interns contribute greatly to the organization and are given projects to champion which they will be able to showcase in their own professional portfolio of accomplishments.
