In this role, you will serve as a key member of your regional HealthCorps team, helping to share the impact of our programs through compelling stories, digital content, event promotion, outreach materials, and strategic communications. You’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of marketing and communications, including social media, content creation, public relations, community engagement, event marketing, brand management, and internal communications.

This internship is ideal for students interested in building real-world experience in marketing, communications, nonprofit storytelling, public health, and community outreach.
