The Learning Artists internship is a "learn-and-earn" program intended to provide teens with job readiness and life skills, while introducing the balance between academic work and extracurricular activities. Learning Artists will gain skills in photography and videography while exploring historical landmarks, public art, and community organizing efforts in Roxbury. Artists will make a short film centered in Roxbury community narratives for their final project in May.

The Community Artists internship is a leadership-centered program, intended to provide teens with realistic workforce development and support. This advanced photography and visual arts internship explores the intersections of art, activism, and community history. Interns will engage with topics such as gentrification and movement building as they learn skills in event planning, budgeting, and community organizing. Interns will plan and organize the UUUM Community Art Day + Film Screening as their final project in May.

Dual Internships are for young people interested in working 4 days per week (Monday through Thursday) and participating in a combination of both internships to work towards a community action project. This option is only available to young people who have been through at least one program cycle with the RYP Internships before.
