Marketing Intern for Growing Non Profit - Spring 2022
WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH A LOCAL GROWING MENTAL HEALTH NONPROFIT?
Marketing Internship Opportunity Spring 2022
Background
DMAX Foundation is a Philadelphia-area nonprofit whose mission is to create connections and conversations that matter to strengthen mental health and emotional well-being for young people. We accomplish this through DMAX Clubs on college campuses. The Clubs create an environment where students get together to talk about how they are doing, how their friends are doing, and how they can help each other. The Clubs are for all students as we believe that mental health is a continuum that everyone falls along at different places at different times in their lives. Mental health is everyone’s concern.
