INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

AQE Seeks Driven Interns  

Are you a student searching for a dynamic, passionate, policy and community-driven internship? If that appeals to you, AQE has the ideal internship to not only build your resume, but to also give you a well-rounded experience working for a non-profit promoting education reform on both the policy and community levels.

This upcoming year is vital for New York state schools. As a student, you are probably already aware of the dire situation that New York State schools are in. With budget cuts still running deep, restoring jobs, classes and programs to schools is imperative in order for our students to receive a high quality education.  Help to catalyze a change!
