“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” B. Franklin

EQA runs an innovative Internship Program which enables high school students to gain professional experience while interning in businesses and organizations throughout the greater New Orleans area.  Students are given the opportunity to apply their skills while providing meaningful support to their internship placement. These formative experiences help students identify future pathways to achieve their professional and civic goals.

Each high school's Real World Learning Coordinator develops contacts with programs, businesses, and organizations interested in hosting interns. Internships vary in length and intensity and all aim to connect students with a mentor who will invest in their growth and development.  Students earn experience, access, academic credit and/or stipends depending upon the internship.
