The American Heart Association’s Internship Program provides college students an opportunity for hands‑on experience in various facets for individuals interested in gaining work experience with a non‑profit, voluntary health organization.

Under the supervision and mentorship of the American Heart Association’s Volunteerism team, the intern will support volunteer engagement and content management efforts across national initiatives. The intern will support three primary areas: volunteer communications and resource development; volunteer recognition initiatives, including National Volunteer Week; and youth engagement through Heart Clubs and the National Youth Leadership Council.

Working closely with the Volunteerism team, the intern will help translate volunteer engagement goals into practical resources, presentations, digital content and other materials for staff and volunteers. The intern will also support high school and college student volunteers by coordinating and facilitating virtual onboarding sessions, leading year‑end feedback meetings and helping enhance the overall Heart Club volunteer experience.

The Association offers many resources to help you maintain work‑life harmonization through your changing needs and life situations. To help you be successful, you will have access to Heart U, our award‑winning corporate university, as well as training and support locally and through our National Center.
