BAI’s internship program begins with exploring art in Dorchester

A group of rising seniors in Boston Public Schools explored Dorchester’s art scene last month in kicking off their internships through the Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) program. The students participated in various workshops at the Strand Theatre and Humphrey Street Studios on July 15.

The BAI program offers students paid opportunities to focus on college and career readiness in areas ranging from professional coaching to art exploration.

“Arts and culture is a huge part of our work with Bloomberg’s internship program,” said Nicole Olusanya, the director of BPS Arts Expansion for EdVestors, which organizes the Boston BAI program. “These days we’re doing excursions where we’re exposing young people to arts and culture opportunities around the city and to let them know that these opportunities are here for them.”
