ACE Internship
ACE Internship
In 2008, the Alliance for Catholic Education piloted an exciting initiative open to all Notre Dame juniors: the ACE undergraduate internship. Our internship program, now in its 14th year, attracts students interested in becoming ACE teachers after graduation and eager to work for ACE during their senior years to advance its mission in service to under-resourced Catholic schools.
Drawing on the diverse gifts and experiences of selected participants, these paid internships (5-10 hours per week) will offer challenging work in close collaboration with the ACE team in a variety of areas:
-
- Raising awareness of ACE’s mission at Notre Dame and at colleges and universities nationwide
- Outreach efforts to local and national Catholic schools
- Research, analysis, marketing, & public relations
- Opportunities for personal, professional, communal, and spiritual growth
Interns will work closely with the ACE team on meaningful projects. Therefore, we seek rising seniors who wish to serve as ACE teachers after graduation and commit to do so as the first step of their internships. Application for these internships will thus include early application to join ACE. To learn more about the current interns, read their profiles.
Applications will open in early February 2022. Please contact Michael Comuniello (; 574.631.6561) for more information.

ACE Ambassadors
In 2017, the Alliance for Catholic Education piloted an exciting opportunity open to all college juniors, not currently enrolled at Notre Dame: the ACE Ambassadors Program. Our ambassadors program empowers selected students to sustain and transform Catholic schools, while also offering them early admittance into ACE Teaching Fellows following graduation.
During their senior years, ambassadors work together, alongside the broader ACE community, to share ACE’s mission with fellow undergraduates on their respective campuses. To carry out these paid outreach efforts, our ambassadors receive support from the ACE team in a variety of ways:
-
- Cost-free trip to ND’s campus for ACE Ambassadors Institute in July
- Monthly ACE Ambassador team conversations by Zoom Call
- Campus visits by ACE Pastoral team members
- Opportunities for personal, professional, and spiritual growth
ACE Ambassadors are offered a unique and formative additional year in the ACE Teaching Fellows experience. Therefore, we seek rising college seniors who wish to serve as ACE teachers after graduation and commit to do so as the first step of their ambassadorships. To learn more about the current Ambassadors, read their profiles.
Applications will open in early February 2022. Please contact Michael Comuniello (; 574.631.6561) for more information.
