I am a college student and would like to volunteer for Quaqua, but is academic credit available?
A. On a case-by-case basis, and based upon need, Quaqua cooperates with various collegiate externship programs designed to provide students with college credit for their hands-on organizational experience. For example, Brigham Young University has granted college credit to students doing marketing and public relations projects for Quaqua. Students in education, accounting, information management, business, youth leadership, organizational behavior, law, and related fields are also eligible to do Quaqua externships if they obtain formal consent from their sponsoring college.
