The
Brattle Film Foundation depends on its interns and volunteers for help with all aspects of the organization, from helping to write grant proposals to tearing tickets in the theatre. Each semester presents new challenges suited to those studying in diverse areas, from non-profit arts management to documentary photography and beyond! Our interns and volunteers assist Brattle staff on a daily basis, and in return receive valuable academic credit and hands-on experience.
Each semester's fresh faces become next year's old friends as our interns go on to further study or careers in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York... but they are always welcome to say hello when they're back in town. Become part of a talented and enthusiastic group of people working to make the Brattle Theatre one of the best non-profit cinemas in the country.
Volunteer positions are generally available on a rolling basis. Use the form at the bottom of this page to provide us with information about your interests and availability.
The Brattle welcomes volunteers for usher and concessions assistant positions. Minimum commitment is one night weekly for two months. Plus you can stick around to watch the film!
