About the position
HealthCorps is a national, non-profit organization committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through programming that provides innovative and engaging experiences for teens in education, leadership, and service learning. Through our Teens Make Health Happen program, we empower teens by encouraging them to become change agents within their families, schools, and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional and physical challenges. We’re looking for a creative, organized, self-starter who will help us achieve development goals and uplift the HealthCorps mission by contributing creative and innovative ideas. This internship will help you to supplement your current marketing and communication skills and provide a diverse range of experiences in the public health and non-profit fields.
