Wraparound Enterprises is a community-rooted organization dedicated to advancing behavioral health equity in Black and historically marginalized communities. Through an intergenerational model, we create spaces where youth and older adults can access culturally responsive support, build resilience, and engage in meaningful dialogue around identity, health, and justice. We are launching the statewide inaugural Black Aging Summit on February 18, 2027.

About the Opportunity

We are seeking a dependable, organized student intern to help prepare for the Black Aging Summit in February 2027. This intern will support the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the Summit and related fundraising and administrative tasks moving.

• Comfortable using email, spreadsheets, and shared documents.
• Reliable, proactive, and able to meet deadlines.
• Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information.
• Interest in community work, older adults, Black communities, public health, nonprofit work, or fundraising is welcome.
• Previous administrative experience is helpful but not required.

Who You Are

You are a self-starter who manages your own workload, a team player who communicates proactively, and someone who double-checks their work and takes pride in getting things right. You care about health equity and about serving the communities we work with.

What You Will Gain

• Hands-on experience in nonprofit operations, donor and funder tracking, and event preparation
• Direct mentorship from the Executive Director
• Behind-the-scenes experience helping a major community convening come together.
