Human Rights Campaign
Human Rights Campaign is the country's largest nonprofit LGBT rights group, garnering more than 750,000 members in its fight for equal rights. Based out of Washington, D.C., HRC offers a whole list of summer internships for students in all different fields, ranging from communications and marketing to graphic design to "Jewish workplace equality." All internships are unpaid, but class credit is available upon request. There are different responsibilities for interns, tailored to the particular program, but each works towards the same cause of equal rights for all. All internships are based in Washington, and although housing is not paid for, staff members will help interns find local housing. Interns are also encouraged to apply for full-time positions as paid staff members upon completing a summer internship. You can apply for any of HRC's 24 internship programs at hrc.org.
Music Saves Lives
Music Saves Lives is a nonprofit organization that organizes blood drives across the country in conjunction with music tours, festivals and shows. Founded by Russel Hornbeek in Southern California, Music Saves Lives aims to link a love for music, entertainment and charity, encouraging youth and young adults to get involved in their communities and donate by giving blood. The nonprofit has been recognized by the American Red Cross for their success in involving student-aged music lovers in blood donation, hosting the most successful summer drives for the age group. Music Saves Lives, although not a traditional internship position, offers many ways for students to serve during the summer outside of giving blood. Anyone is welcome to apply to organize a blood drive in their area, with Warped Tour being one of the most notable places Music Saves Lives makes an appearance.
