Break into the Music Business: ASCAP Internships

The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) is the largest international membership organization of lyricists, songwriters, producers, composers and publishers. The organization is comprised of, and solely controlled by, those who create the music.

ASCAP protects the rights of its members by licensing and distributing royalties for the non-dramatic public performances of their copyrighted works. ASCAP's licensees encompass all who want to perform copyrighted music publicly. ASCAP makes giving and obtaining permission to perform music simple for both creators and users of music.

Internships are available in

• Membership Department
• Human Resources
• Office of Public Affairs/Legislative Affairs
• Membership-Symphonic & Concert
• ASCAP Foundation

Responsibilities vary by department. The Membership Department Internship is a non-paid internship for college credit, so all applicants must be enrolled in an accredited college or university. To apply for the Membership Department Internship, contact Cindy Braun at (323) 883-1000 ext. 269.

The other internships can be either paid or for college credit. For all other internships, email resume and specify the department of interest in the subject line.
