Workshop
Workshop prepares students for a future in marketing and communications, while helping nonprofits—working for causes that impact people’s lives—have great work.
The work any of us does to make another person’s life better is the most rewarding. During the fall and spring semesters, we hire three senior level college student interns from the fields of advertising design, as well as marketing and communications. During the semester they work together as a team for a nonprofit client—one account manager, one writer and one art director—creating a marketing plan and sample work the nonprofit can use to further its mission. At the end of the semester, the students have strong work to add to their portfolios and the nonprofit has tools they can use to meet their goals.

NAMI Duluth
Our regional branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, (NAMI) Duluth, needed help educating the community, reaching out to the college student population, gaining members and volunteers and de-stigmatizing mental illness. During the semester, our student team concepted and created a new website for NAMI that centered around accessing mental health tools/resources through NAMI and then drove their audience to the site through a social media campaign.

Duluth Trafficking Task Force
Sex trafficking and exploitation, especially of young and vulnerable children and young adults, takes place in Duluth, yet many of us don’t know about it. The Duluth Trafficking Task Force’s mission is to end sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in Duluth. Our student team created a website and campaign around the strong concept End It Duluth.
