Internships

I Am Not My Body has wonderful internship opportunities for college students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs. Internships are semester based, if you are looking for a fulfilling internship and have an interest in working with a nonprofit like ours then this may be for you.

I Am Not My Body Intern program believes in training students in areas of Project Management, Social Services, Language and Art teacher.  Interns are under the direct supervision and guidance of several staff members; we believe that student’s growth is cultivated by development of important relationships.  The Student Intern Program has a two-fold design, supporting the development of students and the growth in capacity of IANMB. 

The first and most important aspect of the program is the training of students for their lives as professionals. It provides higher levels of initial direction and structure that ultimately supports the student’s trajectory towards greater autonomy and responsibility.  Interns have several opportunities to be increasingly autonomous in all aspects of their functioning at IANMB.  Additionally, IANMB exposes students to an extensive range of experiences that allows interns to seek their own areas of interest. 

Secondly, and equally important is strengthen the agency.  Student interns bring an academic eye for detail and relevant research knowledge that an agency can use to strategically plan and think innovatively about current and future processes.  Access to current trends and academic literature also keeps the agency informed on present and effective strategies in the field.

Interns benefit IANMB the following ways:

  • Assist with special one-time projects.

  • Support agencies work gaps during peak work periods.

  • Release permanent staff to work on high priority issues.

  • Support the recruitment of other interns.

  • Become eligible permanent employment candidates.

The central goal of the I Am Not My Body (IANMB) Student Intern Program is to help students develop competencies to assist marginalized communities in bringing about social change.
