Convergence® Internship Application

HGA's Convergence® Internship Program provides qualified assistants for Convergence® Conference Leaders while giving students enrolled in Fiber Arts programs the chance to assist internationally known instructors and to participate in the Convergence® experience.

Leader assignments will be based on the Intern's experience and interests, the number of students enrolled in the Session, and whether the Leader is willing to work with an Intern. In addition to assisting Leaders in their Sessions, Interns fulfill several other duties at Convergence®. This includes setting up and dismantling exhibits, dressing models for the Fashion Show, monitoring exhibits, checking badges for entry to the Marketplace, transporting equipment for Sessions, assisting with Loom rentals, and whichever additional duties might be filled by a volunteer.
