Volunteer & Internship Opportunities
Positions available in editorial, website development,
design, and public programming
Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities. Working
collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the
Internetʼs specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of
reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting
an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the
exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit
501(c)3 organization.
