Psychology For All (PFA), a nonprofit organization founded in 2015, is committed to improving the emotional well-being of individuals and families living in the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area who cannot access the mental health services they need. Our program is dedicated to educating the community through distributing up-to-date information on mental health issues, offering educational outreach in partnership with other organizations to increase awareness, and connecting individuals to other mental health and community resources as needed. Additionally, our services increase accessibility to mental health care by removing our underserved populations' financial and cultural barriers, including the cost of services and access to quality, evidence-based care. Finally, our program provides social and financial protections to socially disadvantaged groups as our populations of interest.
PFA is seeking interns who can work independently and are looking for workplace learning to enhance their resume to get valuable, real-world experience directly related to their field of study. Applicants should be enthusiastic, self-driven team players who possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and strongly desire to increase access to mental health services in our community. Undergraduate and graduate students who have their home or university in the Charlotte area are strongly encouraged to apply. We will not accept applicants outside the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area since our internships are primarily remote but have some in-person components.
Summer Interns: Summer interns are part of a PFA summer intern cohort of about 4-6 interns.
Gap Year Interns: Open to recent college graduates interested in interning before attending graduate school.
Your non-paid internship will consist of helping our finance team with tasks like data entry, financial reporting, budget analysis, grant management, donor tracking, and general administrative support, providing hands-on experience with non-profit financial operations while contributing to the organization's mission through sound financial practices.
