TEACHING ARTISTS
​
CYS teaching artists lead workshops for high school students focusing on various aspects of Shakespeare performance and pedagogy, including voice, movement, text and character analysis, ensemble play, stage combat, and more. Teaching artists are encouraged to email a letter of introduction and CV to 
manon@chicagoyouthshakespeare.org for consideration.

INTERNS
CYS interns assist in every aspect of running a non-profit organization, including marketing, social media, fundraising, communications, special events, and production management. All CYS internships are volunteer positions, but travel stipends are available as needed. CYS also works with university intern programs to provide compensation. To learn more about internship opportunities with CYS, please send a letter of introduction and resume to info@chicagoyouthshakespeare.org.
