“I first interned with the Black Mental Health Alliance (BMHA) in the summer of 2013 and returned each summer until 2016. As an student intern, studying public health at a university, BMHA was the perfect place to get hands on experience in the non-profit sector. With a small team, I quickly learned the ropes and got to work on tasks that ranged from grant writing, event planning, and preparation of reports and proposals — to name a few! No matter the task, cultural competency was key — a sometimes overlooked component in the public health field. It was a challenging experience but worth every moment!”

“I have served in many capacities at Black Mental Health Alliance (BMHA). The opportunity to work with the Youth Tobacco Enforcement Initiative was the most rewarding. In addition to providing training and support to the youth secret shoppers, I also served as a mentor to share my experience as a college student and computer science major. I worked the IT help desk, answered questions and created technology solutions and installed software and hardware. In December 2017, I received my BS with honors in Computer Science from Morgan State University and currently am employed at a Black-owned software firm in Baltimore.”

“During my tenure at the Black Mental Health Alliance I assisted in the transcription of data, developing best practices collections, and developed a PowerPoint presentation on resilience. The internship was beneficial to me because it allowed me to see the everyday functions of a non-profit. Additionally, it gave me the opportunity to apply the concepts I was learning about in class into real life situations.”
