Edina French Immersion Intern Program Hub

We are excited to welcome 27 interns to Minnesota for the 2023-2024 school year! 21 interns will be working at Normandale Elementary, 3 at Valley View Middle School in Extended French, and 3 interns at Edina High School in the Extended French program. We are thankful to our host and partner families and we need help throughout the year from additional families who are interested in getting involved with our Intern Program. 

Each school year, there are many opportunities to get to know the interns through helping with rides, participating in school events, and inviting your child(s) intern to do things with your family. The interns are all very excited to try everything they can that is “Minnesotan.” Nothing is too silly!  Interns LOVE getting together and getting to know their students' families. If you are nervous about what to expect……invite other families and other interns to join.  It is a great way to get to know one of the wonderful interns we are lucky to have during the school year!  

This site is the “hub” to check to see what events we need help with for school sponsored intern events. Please check here often for new opportunities. We are always needing help with rides and food donations for school sponsored events.  We appreciate every little bit of help! Thank you so much!

Current Volunteer opportunities

The Intern Committee is seeking an Intern Communications Director and an Intern Volunteer Coordinator. See job descriptions and sign-up here

Able to help with rides or various other needs that come up while the interns are living in Minnesota? Interns post questions for random things that they would like while here.  Examples include  “does anyone have a guitar I can use while here? Or does anyone have ice skates I can borrow? I would love to go to Target on Saturday, is anyone planning to go and would be willing to pick me up to go with you ?” Please join the Facebook page: Neighborhood Network for Edina Interns.
