People USA is a peer-run mental health non-profit that provides innovative crisis response and wellness services. Being peer-run means that all our services are developed and operated by people who have personally overcome mental health issues, addiction, or trauma. This makes us a valuable addition and alternative to the traditional behavioral health care system.
People USA’s unique, peer-led models are proven to significantly reduce incarceration rates and have been replicated all over the US and Europe. Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people and communities to understand, manage, and overcome mental health, addiction, and social determinant of health challenges like homelessness. 

People’s USA Strategy & Development interns will have the exciting opportunity to make a difference in the lives of local community members struggling with mental health, addiction, and homelessness by supporting the Creative Development team with a variety of tasks. The Development team is the creative wing of the nonprofit, responsible for the rapid growth of the organization via marketing & social media, PR, fundraising, project management, and government affairs. (Interns will never be bored!) Based on our candidate base, we will consider hiring between 1-3 interns to support these initiatives. Please indicate which of the subjects below you feel you are best suited to and why (can be multiple). Intern credit will be provided. Interns must have their own computer and reliable transportation. This is an unpaid internship with People USA. Interns can create a flexible schedule.
Interns will have the opportunity to attend weekly Development team meetings alongside our Chief Strategy & Development Officer, Development Manager, Project Manager, Marketing Manager, & Development & Communications Coordinator.
