Co-founded in 2014 by renowned architect Frank Gehry and arts education advocate Malissa Shriver, Turnaround Arts: California is a nonprofit organization that administers Turnaround Arts, a school reform program launched by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities under the Obama administration and now run nationally by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The program is designed to bring effective and integrated arts education into some of the lowest performing elementary and middle schools across the country. Through this initiative, schools in the process of reform develop new strategies and tools to shift school culture and climate
and better engage students and families through the arts. Learn more at turnaroundartsca.org.
Turnaround Arts: California seeks a full-time, paid Program Research Intern to join us for a 10-week period during summer 2018. Reporting to the Director of Program and Strategy, the Program Research Intern will support staff in web research identifying key arts opportunities across California that would allow participating schools to deepen the strategic use of the arts at their school. The Program Research Intern will develop resources for classroom teachers, assist with data collection/analysis for program evaluation and refinement, and support external communications efforts.
