    Internships

    Interns are a vital part of our team and they do a variety of work depending on our current needs. We strive to create a valuable learning experience to best support those interested in nonprofit work and becoming more involved in the Society. Although internships are unpaid, they can count for school credit. Please check with your school advisor to learn how this process works at your school or through your educational program.

    To inquire about internships please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at GetInvolved@nmss.org or by calling (801) 424-0113 for more information.
