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. Development interns will
get an up-close look at how Active Minds financially supports a
network of 800 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 categories/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 partner and foundation 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:
