National Volunteer Opportunities
NBDF is a fully remote organization, which allows volunteers from across the country to support our work. Volunteers are paired with departments based on their interests, skills, and availability.
Volunteer opportunities may include supporting areas such as:
- Fundraising
- Advocacy
- Education
- Research
- Health Access
- Marketing and Public Relations
These opportunities may involve project-based work, event support, or other initiatives that help advance NBDF’s programs and outreach.
Did you know that thousands of companies offer volunteer grant programs where they donate to our organization after you volunteer your time? Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. If you volunteer with us, it’s an easy way to provide us with additional financial support!
Regional and Local Volunteer Opportunities
In addition to national opportunities, NBDF’s chapter affiliates across the country offer local volunteer opportunities within their communities.
These opportunities may include:
- Supporting local programs and events
- Assisting with outreach and community engagement
- Providing administrative or organizational support
Individuals interested in volunteering locally are encouraged to connect with their local chapter affiliate to learn about available opportunities in their area.
Internships at NBDF
NBDF partners with universities and colleges to provide students with opportunities to gain professional experience while supporting our mission. Internships allow students to learn about nonprofit work, contribute to meaningful projects, and develop skills in a mission-driven environment.
Students or academic institutions interested in internship opportunities are encouraged to contact our HR team to explore potential placements.
Learning, Connecting, and Making an Impact: Our Intern Stories
“Gained a deeper understanding of NBDF and how a national organization operates across multiple departments. Learned the value of planning and connecting experiences to future career goals (especially through meeting Phil). Noted the variability in cultural and reading-level accessibility across chapters, highlighting areas for broader consistency.”
- CUNY Graduate of Public Health Summer Intern
“I gained a deeper understanding of bleeding disorders and the needs of the community. While I had heard about the community before, connecting with individuals in person was incredibly powerful and meaningful. It was eye-opening to watch Dismissed and learn more about the challenges women and girls with bleeding disorders face, as well as to understand how the Spanish-speaking community can sometimes feel unseen—reinforcing the importance of the presentation I created. I had the opportunity to connect with staff across different departments and be actively involved with the education team, which gave me valuable exposure to the organization as a whole.”
- CUNY Graduate of Public Health Fall Intern
“I would recommend this internship to others because the environment was supportive and learning. I was able to get all the support I needed to complete my tasks. The flexibility of being remote allowed me to work on my own time at my own pace.”
