Volunteer!
Do you have writing or speaking skills? Photography, art, or graphic design skills? Social media skills? Organizing or activism skills? Other skills we’ve never even heard of?
Whatever it is that you do well, and whether you have hours to spare every week or only an hour to spare every month, we’d love to have your help! Not located in our area? No problem—remote volunteers are welcome too.
Get started by taking our quick and easy volunteer survey to let us know your interests, skills, and availability. We’ll match you up with an exciting opportunity to work on one of our many campaigns for human rights in mental health care.
Feel free to share this link with anyone in your circle who might be interested in joining us.

- Health
- Non-profit management
If you are selected to intern with us, we will create an individualized job description that satisfies your unique interests and academic requirements.
MFI internships lead to success
See those inspiring We Are MFI personal stories on the RH side of our website? That project was created for us during a summer internship by Oryx Cohen, who was then a grad student and is now a national leader in our movement.
Other successful interns have contributed research to our PsychFacts database, built up our collection of recovery stories, and more. Just imagine what you could do as the next MFI intern!
