Minnesota Agricultural Education Internship
Minnesota is proud to offer an exciting internship opportunity for those interested in becoming future agriculture teachers. This paid internship is made possible by generous donations from AgCountry Farm Credit Services, CHS Foundation, Christensen Farms, Compeer Financial and MAELC. The purpose of the Agricultural Education Internship is to spark an interest in current collegiate students to consider entering the teaching profession and to provide Agricultural Education students with hands-on experience in this exciting career.
The internship is intended for Agricultural Education majors, however, students in other majors who are interested in pursuing teacher licensure will also be considered. Current sophomores, juniors, seniors (who will complete student teaching in Fall 2027), and initial licensure graduate students from any institution should apply; however, priority will be given to those with the intent to teach in Minnesota
The internship may begin as soon as May 17, 2027 and end as late as August 13, 2027; however, exact dates of the internship are negotiable. Interns will work approximately 320 hours over the summer (no more than 40 hours/week). One week of the summer will be spent at the Minnesota Association of Agricultural Educators (MAAE) summer conference, providing opportunities for professional development and networking. The conference will be held in Brooklyn Park, MN from July 6-July 9, 2027.
