Internships
Men’s Health Network prides itself in its historic internship program it offers to college students and post-grads who are looking to be directly involved with our mission of promoting the health needs and overall well-being of men, boys and their families. With offices located in Alexandria, VA and a presence on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, MHN works to educate policy makers, the media, and the public on the health crisis facing today’s men and the need for both men and women to know about male specific diseases and how male health problems affect the workplace, the economy, and family and other loved ones..
