Department Overview:
Maydm, as an organization, was founded as a response to the overwhelming lack of technical training that meets the needs of low-income students, girls, and youth of color. Our programs offer opportunities for youth to develop knowledge and skills in science, technology, and engineering. Throughout the year, we offer one-day workshops independently and in partnership with other community organizations. In these sessions, students gain introductory insights into a STEM topic and begin growing their interest in STEM. Each summer, we offer a series of multi-week immersive programs where students gain in-depth technical knowledge as well as go on-site visits to local companies and engage in critical conversations on confidence, equity, and innovation. These experiences create opportunities and experiences for students who may not have otherwise been able to participate in holistic STEM learning, for students to change the face of STEM. The Executive and Operations Intern plays a key role in supporting Maydm’s mission of providing girls and youth of color in grades 6-12 with skills, experiences, and connections to pursue careers in and change the face of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The Executive Operations Intern will provide operations support for the overall functions of the organization: supporting the executive team (Executive Director, Director of Operations, and Development Manager), and delivery of Maydm educational programs. This is an excellent opportunity for a student pursuing business, entrepreneurship, and/or nonprofit management to work with a small, fast-paced team and gain hands-on experience with nonprofit operations. We are also especially seeking people of color and bilingual (i.e. English/Spanish, English/Hmong) candidates for this position. We strongly encourage you to apply even if you think you have some, but not all of the requirements listed below. You may be exactly what we're looking for and if so, we'll teach you the rest.
