My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience this summer as the Mental Health Association of San Francisco’s Fundraising and Communications intern was nothing short of an excellent experience. I was treated with a lot of respect, and not for a moment did I feel inferior among my peers. My duties were chosen according to my skills, but were challenging enough for me to demonstrate growth and progress. I worked on tasks for the annual Hoarding and Cluttering Conference, devised new ways to further generate funds for the organization, as well as partook in weekly meetings and smaller projects. I worked closely with members of the staff, who from the start, made me feel comfortable in a fast-paced environment where work does not cease to exist. The staff is very dedicated in their endeavors to change the way that mental illness is portrayed and dealt with in a society where it is often overlooked. Though MHA-SF acts as a middleman between consumers and service agencies, they are more than a tool for resources; they are advocates and friends for people who seek help. I am thankful to have been a contributor to an organization so devoted to creating a well-informed, mentally healthy San Francisco.
