Education Extra
Help bring history to life by applying for the American Village Junior Interpreter Program. Each summer, up to 25 students ages 12-17 (rising 7th – 12th graders) receive professional training at the American Village in Montevallo and assist our educational interpreters in presenting the customs and times of the 18th Century.
American Village is looking for students who are motivated, adaptable, mature, and also possess performance skills, along with an interest in American history. Deadline to apply is January 31, 2024. Auditions will be held in February and the program will run from May 28-July 4, 2024. Apply now at americanvillage.org. There is no fee to be a junior interpreter. Participants do need to purchase an 18th Century costume (usually $250).
