Why do people volunteer / intern?

production ...or the music industry...or fundraising...or video...or....
Some help to build portfolio material. Some help to make job contacts.
Some help to promote one of the Northwest's most important artforms. Many
people like tohelp to promote community and a great free event for the
region. Most help for the fun of seeing the event come together after
months of preparation.

Does NPA accept internships for school credit or résumé material?
Absolutely. Interns must put in consistent effort. Together,
NPA staff, the intern, and the school or other organization will outline
development goals and expectations and ensure that everyone benefits.
Internships do not necessarily need to involve a school or sponsoring
organization.
