National Veterans Memorial and Museum, 300 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio
The National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) in Columbus, Ohio represents a national initiative of profound importance for our nation’s 20+ million living veterans. There was previously no single monument or museum dedicated to the veteran’s experience in the US. With 30,000 square feet available for exhibit space, this new institution celebrates the service and honors the sacrifice of veterans throughout history. Envisioned by the late Senator John Glenn (1921-2016), Colonel, USMC (Retired), as a gathering place for veterans across the country. The museum opened to the public on October 27, 2018. NVMM presents the veteran experience through the lens of personal stories and life-changing experiences from which visitors will be inspired to learn more about our country’s history and actively engage in their own communities as informed citizens.
An intern at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum volunteers time, knowledge and talents with the Museum, and its visitors. Students who occupy the un-paid positions below report to the Intern and Volunteer Manager. Intern positions are usually short-term and include opportunities for educational growth and training.
