AEF's Shine Squad helps give Arizona public schools the shine they deserve. They work with AEF staff to support local schools through:

  • School Support: work with volunteers in your area to support local public schools through single day projects. Each school has unique needs which they communicate to AEF and then we bring the Shine Squad to assist with projects. It can include classroom support, landscaping, admin tasks, anything the school needs.
  • Admin Support: work with AEF staff in our office and training center to prep supplies, organize materials, and assist with ongoing projects.
  • Event Support: join our team at our signature events throughout the year to help wtih set up, various tasks during the events, and clean up.
  • Tabling Events: attend local community events with staff members to assist in spreading the word and gathering resources to support AEF and Arizona Public Schools.

And so many other exciting opportunities that come up! Opportunities are primarily focused in Maricopa County currently, but will expand to include the rest of the state.

Mission Statement

Arizona Educational Foundation's (AEF) mission is to celebrate excellence and cultivate equity in PreK-12th grade Arizona public education.

Description

We know that amazing things happen in Arizona public schools everyday. We celebrate the amazing educators, staff, and administrators that make that happen as well as cultivate equity through accessible training and mentoring for current and future leaders within public education.

The Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF(r)) was founded in 1983 by then Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction Carolyn Warner who believed that public schools were often unfairly cast in a negative light, despite being able to accomplish great things against seemingly insurmountable odds. She appealed to two longtime business leaders and friends, William "Bill" Shover (then Director of Community Relations for the Arizona Republic) and Eddie Basha (then President of the grocery store chain Bashas’) to help her start an organization that would celebrate excellence in public education and provide programs to support schools on a path to excellence. From the brilliant mind of Carolyn Warner and the generosity of Shover and Basha, the Arizona Educational Foundation was born.

Today, AEF oversees the A+ School of Excellence Award program, Arizona Spelling Bee, AEF Arizona Teacher of the Year Awards, Our World training and development, AEF Principals Leadership Academy of Arizona, Take Your Legislator to School, and teachSTEM initiative. Our programs celebrate and cultivate educators and teams throughout the entire state of Arizona to ensure a bright future for Arizona public education.
