Music Service Learning (MSL) – Spring 2026

Paid Remote Internship | Semester-Based

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Music Service Learning (MSL) is the nonprofit branch of F-flat, an education-focused organization dedicated to supporting music educators, students, and creative communities through innovative resources, partnerships, and professional learning.

As the nonprofit arm of F-flat, MSL focuses on service-learning, educator support, and access-driven initiatives that directly benefit teachers, students, and community partners. This paid internship is designed to provide flexible, ethical, and professionally valuable service-learning experiences while allowing interns to contribute to real-world projects connected to both MSL and F-flat’s broader mission.

Interns may work on projects that support MSL’s nonprofit initiatives, F-flat’s educational platforms, or collaborative efforts that bridge the two.
