Work with MILK!

MILK is a maternal health education organization focused on closing the gap between clinical appointments and real-life support. We believe maternal health outcomes improve when education is structured, evidence-based, and community-centered.

Our work sits at the intersection of:

• Perinatal health education

• Community-based maternal support

• Workforce development in maternal health

• Systems-level thinking

We are seeking a Research & Thought Leadership Intern to help strengthen the research backbone of our work and expand our institutional credibility.

• Track performance metrics (reach, engagement, growth)

• Provide a brief weekly report on trends and engagement insights
