Bring your creativity to work that matters.
Help us tell the story of Doing Grief.
Doing Grief Community Healing Project is a nonprofit organization creating new ways for people to understand grief, discover how they grieve, and find ways to ease suffering and heal in their own way.
Grief can arise from death, illness, broken relationships, trauma, changes in identity, or unwanted life changes. Our work honors each person’s unique experience and recognizes that how you grieve matters.
We’re looking for creative, thoughtful students who want to use their skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others while gaining practical experience in a nonprofit setting.
