About  BAI

The Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) program provides Boston Public School high school students with full-time, paid summer employment in arts and culture organizations. Throughout the 2 month program, interns attend cohort meetings dedicated to executive coaching, oral and written communication skills, postsecondary opportunities, and Boston’s arts and culture resources. This program connects with EdVestors’ ongoing work to support quality arts education through BPS Arts Expansion, as well as our work around career pathways. Funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Boston became the latest city to join the BAI program in 2019, following New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
