College Internship Program — General Overview
About NVEEE
The National Voices for Equality, Education, and Enlightenment (NVEEE) is an award-winning, congressionally recognized national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing bullying, violence, and suicide through education, mentorship, and community engagement. Our youth-centered programs promote leadership, mental wellness, and social responsibility across the United States.
Our Mission
To prevent bullying, violence, and suicide among youth, families, and communities through direct service, mentoring, and prevention education.
What We Do
NVEEE provides interactive educational dialogues and leadership programs that address bullying, mental health, social inequities, and stereotypes, designed to surface community-based solutions that support the health and well-being of all youth. Our dynamic, equity-based programs — which consistently fill to capacity — prepare youth and young adults to be socially responsible leaders. Student Peace Ambassadors who complete our comprehensive leadership curriculum often co-facilitate our programs, extending their impact into communities across the country.
Program Overview
NVEEE's College Internship Program offers part-time and full-time remote internship opportunities year-round across five committees. Interns contribute to real-world projects that directly support youth leadership, educational equity, and community empowerment while gaining substantive professional experience in the nonprofit sector.
Part-time and full-time internships of 25–40 hours a week.*
*A 20-hour week is available when your college or university requires 20 hours for credit.
Interns set a flexible weekly schedule between 9 AM and 8 PM Eastern, Monday through Friday (weekends with prior approval), and work under the supervision of NVEEE staff and the Executive Director. This is an unpaid opportunity. Academic credit may be arranged through your institution; NVEEE will provide all required supporting documentation upon request.
Location
The internship is remote, with in-person opportunities: summer interns may support the Peace Ambassador Leadership Summit (PALS) on university campuses, and interns in South Florida may help deliver workshops at monthly Peace Ambassador Leadership Program (PALP) meetings.
Available Committees
Interns are placed in one primary committee and may opt into a secondary committee based on interest and availability. The five committees are:
- Administrative & Operational Support — General administrative functions, digital transformation, IT support, logistics planning, workflow automation, and AI tools integration
- Community Outreach & Engagement — Volunteer and intern recruitment, mental health and wellness initiatives, strategic partnerships, secondary and collegiate partnerships, and general outreach
- Fundraising, Sponsorships & Grants — Grant research and proposals, donor and sponsor development, sponsorship acquisition, and general fundraising campaigns
- Marketing & Communications — Marketing and public relations, social media content creation, creative services, content writing and copy editing, and website development and maintenance
- Program Development & Youth Engagement — Events and activities management, summer conference planning (PALS), survey and data analysis, lesson plan and curriculum design, student success and academic support, and community impact project coaching
Eligibility
This program is open to currently enrolled undergraduate students (rising sophomores and higher), graduate students, and those enrolled in graduate programs. Freshmen are considered only if they previously participated in NVEEE's high school leadership programs, such as PALP or PALS. All majors are welcome; no GPA requirement applies. International students are eligible to apply, as the internship is virtual and unpaid.

Expectations
Interns are expected to treat this as a professional commitment.
