Volunteer: WQPT PBS Summer Ambassador

The WQPT PBS Ambassadors program isn’t your typical internship. It’s a chance for high school and college students to dive into real-world work—whether you're interested in event planning, education, marketing, or community outreach.

As an Ambassador, you'll represent PBS—one of the most trusted names in media—while bringing educational experiences to life for kids across our region. From leading hands-on workshops and visiting schools to creating fun, interactive events at libraries and community events, you’ll be making a direct impact where it matters most.

You won’t just be helping children—you’ll be supporting the parents, teachers, and caregivers who shape their world. It’s meaningful work, a powerful experience, and a great way to build your future while giving back.
