Internships at MPHA

MPHA is widely recognized for its advocacy, public education, and coalition leadership. Our major successes have involved close work with other organizations, and our effective advocacy has been based on our ability to bring together diverse groups – from labor unions to community health centers – to collaborate effectively on common priorities. We lead and provide staffing assistance to several statewide coalitions, including ones working on school health, the state’s public health budget, environmental health, and local public health infrastructure.

If you are looking for some practical experience in public health, MPHA is the place for you. We offer a wide variety of exciting and challenging internships each semester.

Hear from
past interns...

  • My internship at MPHA was a great opportunity to develop my communication skills and become a strong advocate.  Through my internship, I gained a better understanding of the importance of policy change. This new-found knowledge revitalized me and allowed me to better formulate my future role within public health.

    — McAllister Windom, Tufts University School of Medicine
  • Working at MPHA was a wonderful experience that helped focus my interest in advocacy and policy work. It was a fun environment to be part of and a small enough organization that I had the opportunity to get directly involved in some of the decision-making processes.

    — Lindsey Tucker, Harvard School of Public Health
