In some countries, apprenticeships have always been the way that people learned certain types of work, but these fields are often stigmatized as the fate of people not brainy enough to become doctors or ambassadors or such. Unschoolers apprentice themselves for a week or five years, to chemists and museum creators and windmill repairpeople and poets. So, if you live in an area where people define apprenticeships or internships imaginatively, don't let them limit you dream up the best situation for you and for a skilled adult you admire, and then explain you dream and suggest a trial period. Organizations that offer internships Thousands of organizations offer positions in fields including communications, arts, human services, public affairs, science and industry. You might work on costume and scene construction with a ballet company, conduct a research project for the Peace Corps, do camera work or lighting for TV stations, write and conduct surveys for a newspaper, or do office work for a publisher.
Some internships offer stipends.
Many provide room and board, free classes, college credit, and help with finding employment. You will compete for them with other people, most older than you. Many internships will be officially off-limits until you are eighteen or so, though others are open to high school and even middle school age people. In other words, they will consider ignoring normal requirements, creating special positions for people who wouldn't fit into their usual slots. The Internship Bible.
