Job Description:

About the Active Minds Internship Program Active Minds is the nation's leading nonprofit organization changing the culture around mental health. Through our presence at more than 800 high school and college campuses, in corporate settings, and with a wide-reaching public audience, Active Minds is creating communities of support and saving lives. Founded in 2003 by Alison Malmon after the tragic suicide of her brother Brian, Active Minds is dedicated to supporting a new generation in ending the silence, helping to make mental health as highly valued as physical health. Through our many programs - including the emotionally gripping Send Silence Packing - traveling exhibit and our compelling Active Minds Speakers - we are changing culture and behaviors related to mental health across the country. - Our internships are geared toward current college students and recent college graduates. As a small nonprofit, Active Minds relies on the help of our interns tremendously as they work directly on important initiatives and projects as well as assist staff on a variety of administrative tasks. Interns have the opportunity to do substantive work, gain experience in the nonprofit sector, and help change the culture around mental health. - All Spring 2025 internships will be remote with an anticipated start date of February 3rd, 2025, and an end date of April 30th, 2025. We expect interns to work a minimum of 20 hours a week, set a consistent work schedule between 9:00am and 5:00pm EST Monday - Friday, and commit to staying on board for the entire semester. - Active Minds pays interns a stipend of $1,250 per month.
Development Internship As a part of the Development team, interns will learn about the vitally important work of supporting a nonprofit's mission by inspiring donors.

Interns with the Development team may fall under one of four general categories/tracks, depending on the needs of the team: Individual Giving, Development Operations, Community Fundraising, or Corporate Partnerships/Foundation Relations.
