MCA Denver’s POV is program is a gateway introduction to all things teen at MCA Denver. It is a semester-long, paid internship for high school students in the Denver area. Ambassadors are a diverse group of teens representing a multitude of experiences.

Failure Lab is a museum-led leadership program for twelve Denver-area high school students. Rather than focusing on achievement, Failure Lab is dedicated to developing creativity, becoming a place where the risk of failure is always a possibility.

This is a digital squad–so while there are no official meetings, your tasks will be to come to the museum on your own time (bring friends!) and do fun things around what's happening at MCA Denver. Interested?
