Ready to roll up your sleeves?

We are carefully selecting a small team of interns to join DAT during the season ahead.  

WHO YOU ARE

  • You are an ambitious go-getter. You are a quick learner who can take instructions and run with them. You are excited to develop skills and ready to put in the work.

  • You take pride in what you do. You care deeply about the worlds of theatre, arts admin, eco-travel, and/or social impact. You listen fully, read through details carefully, and consider every aspect of a stakeholder’s experience.

  • You are inspired. You have a strong belief that everyone’s voice and story matters and fight so that all can be heard.

  • You are scrappy and entrepreneurial. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are comfortable with not knowing the answer to something. You are willing to roll up your sleeves no matter what the challenge is.

  • You are action oriented. You make deadlines for yourself and move fast - favoring practical choices. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. If something seems off, you come up with a good solution, and take action to fix the problem.

  • You enjoy your work. You love what you do, think about it in your free time, and often find yourself tinkering away at strange hours — not because you feel you have to, but because you’re so excited to make a positive impact in the world. Your favorite thing to do is to take on a huge challenge and pull it off.

  • You are a good soul. You value diversity and go out of your way to ensure others feel welcome and supported. You are a great communicator — with a fantastic sense of humor and a little charm. You enjoy hanging out with your teammates, have a low-ego, and make the workplace more fun for everyone.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

  • Be at least 18 years old (at start of internship)

  • Be able to fully commit to a 12 week program (plus orientation weekend and an optional 4-6 weeks abroad)
