AFSCME represents over 1.4 million public service workers. We all have a family member who is: a child care provider, nurse, sanitation worker, emergency medical technician-these are all public service jobs that we fight to protect and provide every day.
The Union Scholars Program is a 10-week summer internship where students get a chance to gain hands-on organizing experience with our members. Students get a glimpse of what it’s like to be part of and even work for a labor union.
