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 1,000 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 towards 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 Fall 2024 internships will be remote with an anticipated start date of September 16, 2024 and end date of November 29, 2024. 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. Development interns will get an up-close look at how Active Minds financially supports a network of 1,000 campuses, workplaces, and communities with Active Minds programs all across the country by raising essential and necessary funds.
Interns with the Development team may fall under one of four general tracks, depending on the needs of the team: Individual Giving, Development Operations, Community Fundraising, or Corporate Partnerships/Foundation Relations.
All interns with the Development team will strengthen their communication skills as they develop messages that motivate people to give to Active Minds and their people skills as they interact with donors, fundraisers, and advocates passionate about our work. Some projects that interns contribute to include: Outreach to donors, students, and partners (All); planning special events (Community Fundraising); data entry and hygiene (Development Operations); fundraising campaign prep (Individual Giving); donor prospect research (Individual Giving and Development Operations); corporate and foundation partner prospecting and drafting proposals (Corporate Partnerships/Foundation Relations); and content creation for newsletters, donor letters, and fundraising pages (All).
All Active Minds interns will also have the opportunity to collaborate on projects with other teams and are encouraged to connect with staff across the organization to learn more about the work that they do. Development interns will have a direct impact on the success of nationwide fundraising initiatives that support the entire organization.
Development interns are valued members of the team who support the mission and vision of our work through a variety of projects both big and small.
Qualifications:
● Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
● Marketing, business, and/or customer service skills
● Experience with college or other fundraising a plus (i.e., fundraising/philanthropy committees of student organizations)
● Knowledge of Google Workspace, Zoom, and Dropbox
● Washington, DC based preferred with ability to come to the Active Minds office occasionally as needed
● Event planning and coordination experience preferred
● A passion for mental health and social impact preferred
● Database experience a plus (Google Workspace and Salesforce)
● Strong organizational skills
● Detail-oriented. We run events at a fast pace with a lot of moving parts. Having an eye for detail to ensure no steps are missed and projects are executed correctly is pivotal.
● Positive Attitude and Go-Getter Spirit
● Self-Starter. Someone who is willing to learn from a team, but has the ability to work on projects independently.
● Openness and willingness to learn new tasks for special projects
