About Us

diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB)

Why This Role Matters

Our programs impact real lives—and we need a design presence that reflects the empathy, inclusiveness, and energy of our work. As our UI/UX intern, you’ll shape how people experience our message, interact with our tools, and feel seen, heard, and included.

What You’ll Do

• Design intuitive, inclusive, and accessible interfaces for our website, landing pages, and digital campaigns
• Create visually compelling layouts, icons, and illustrations that reflect DEIB principles
• Collaborate with content, program, and outreach teams to turn ideas into user-centered designs
• Conduct user research or interpret feedback to iterate and refine design solutions
• Help maintain a cohesive design system and brand identity across touchpoints
• Explore ways to represent diverse identities, experiences, and stories in UI elements

What We’re Looking For

• Passion for design that reflects empathy, inclusion, and impact
• Familiarity with design tools like Figma, Adobe XD, Canva, or Sketch
• Strong visual storytelling and layout skills
• Understanding of basic UX principles—usability, accessibility (WCAG), responsiveness
• A portfolio (can include personal or student projects) showing thoughtful, aesthetic designs
• Bonus: experience with designing for non-profits or mission-driven organizations

What You’ll Gain

• A chance to design for impact—your work will touch real lives
• Exposure to mission-first design principles and DEIB-led narratives
• Mentorship and feedback from experienced design and communications professionals
• Flexible work hours and a collaborative, inclusive remote team culture
• Letter of recommendation + LinkedIn endorsement + public credit for your work
• Possibility of continued involvement or PPO based on performance and interest

Send your resume, portfolio (or Dribbble/Behance link), and a cover letter on why inclusive design matters to you.
