To participate, you must be a student in 7th or 8th grade, high school, college, university, or a vocational–technical institute. If you have graduated from high school and are not pursuing further education, you must be employed or enrolled in a specialized job-training program. Students are expected to maintain good academic standing.

For 7th and 8th grade students, A.I.M.E. provides programs to help prepare them for high school and future career opportunities. This age group may participate in workshops and volunteer activities only, as they are below the legal working age.

A minimum GPA of 3.0 is recommended, but we are open to assisting students with GPAs between 1.7 and 2.9. Students with a GPA below 1.7 are not eligible for A.I.M.E. services; however, we can provide support to help improve academic performance and qualify for future participation.

For employment eligibility, students and young adults must maintain a good reputation with their employer. Those with below-standard job performance are not qualified for A.I.M.E. services. A positive work ethic is essential for developing a successful career.

Young adults aged 26 to 29 who have completed their college, university, vocational, trade, or technical education may continue working with A.I.M.E. to transition into the workforce or grow their business, receiving ongoing support and guidance to build long-term success.

A.I.M.E. has service fees for each of the education programs. There is a nonprofit fee and a regular service fee. Some workshops, masterminds, and events have separate fees specific towards their program offerings. Memberships and partnerships have different fees attached.

Cash, check, and credit cards are accepted. You can donate on A.I.M.E.’s Cash App, Paypal, Zeffy, and Venmo accounts.

This depends on the type of internship or apprenticeship programs out there. Some may have paid opportunities, while others are treated as academic credit/voluntary work.

Since this organization is about assisting with career development, most things will be provided by A.I.M.E. and its services. Our partners and business supporters also assist with various needs and supplies.

No previous work experience is required since this program is about getting your foot in the door of a particular industry. However, you must be enrolled in an educational program (I.E. High school, college, vocational school), or if a high school graduate that is not attending college, must be employed to be qualified for our services. If you are out of high school and are not employed, you are not qualified to use A.I.M.E. services. We make it our goal to make sure that the individual has a steady career and a future goal to grow in their career choice.

Depending on the semester cycle and or school year, it is best to bring the application in before the start of the program year or semester. This means if your school year starts in September, applications should be delivered by the start of the summer season.

The purpose of the consolation meetings is to get to know the individual and where they are in their educational/career pursuits. If you have financial questions or inquiries about donations or sponsorships, our treasurer can reach out to answer your questions (finance@aimecareers.org).

A.I.M.E. is blessed to be in a country full of freedoms that are protected in the Constitution. With that said, due to the hostile political climate and strong political divisions, our organization will not endorse any social/political cause or candidate when working with students. It is our belief that all companies, whether for-profit or non-profit, that have nothing to do with the current political climate should focus on consumers from all walks of life and the community at large.

Any student that desires a career in politics, journalism, or social activism can choose any political party they wish to be associated with. A.I.M.E. is therefore not responsible for what political party or social cause students choose to focus on for their careers. The goal is for the student to receive the experience needed to grow in the world of political science or journalism.
