Spring Break Externship Program

AAAYA and the Asian American Cultural Center are proud to offer the second year of the Spring Break Externship Program. The program takes enthusiastic and committed Yale undergraduates and pairs them with alumni for a short week-long unpaid internship during their spring break. It is the perfect opportunity for the alumni to acquaint themselves with students and for the students to establish alumni relations and gain valuable experience in preparation for professional and life skills after college.
