You could be the drop
that makes the ripple
Our organization runs completely on Volunteers.
There are very few opportunities where you can have as much direct impact on a cause as you will at Letters Against Depression.
The Impact of an Individual
Do You Like This Website?
Isn’t it just incredible? It was designed by a LAD Intern! She put hours into this redesign. She moved everything over from our old website. Then she worked with the Board, Leaders, and Interns to make sure it reflected the organizations mission and future. All in the hopes that it would improve user experience.
ONE PERSON made this happen, and here you are seeing the direct impact of her work.
Do You Enjoy our awesome Data Analytics?
All that data was organized, cleaned, and put together by interns. It was turned into fancy charts and social media videos because several people were dedicated to making our impact known. The nuts and bolts were worked out by an individual with so much grit and determination.
ANOTHER PERSON made our data usable and then put it out there for our impact to be known.
Do You Like Our Blogs?
They are written by anyone who asks. All our fantastic blogs are written by someone who took the time out of their day to share some a story, share some information, or provide some insight into a small part of the mental health journey. A collection of people who wanted to make a difference with a blog makes up our blog
Group activities drive our mission!
Do You Like Our Resources and PDFs?
They were written by LAD interns and Leaders. They were designed by a group of people who are just like you. They wanted to make Letters Against Depression accessible to as many people as possible while still allowing people to volunteer on their own terms. Their insight makes your journey easier.
Our experiences help drive yours.
Do You Follow Us On Social Media?
A large portion of what you see on our social media comes directly from our interns. They create, film, edit, compile, and bare their souls to the camera to get LAD’s message out. They also interact with followers and reply to comments and otherwise engage the audience. Without interns, we wouldn’t have much of a social media presence at all.
And we know you used Social Media to find us :)
Do You Like Making an Impact?
Then Letters Against Depression might be for you! Run entirely on volunteer labor! No one, from the CEO, to the Board, to the interns, to the Volunteers make any money. We are simply a collection of caring individuals who want to take the time to tell others that we hear you, see you, and want to let you know we are here for you!
You are the Impact!
If you are looking for a place where you will make a direct impact, then Letters Against Depression is the place for you. You hold, in your hands, the opportunity to not only reach an individual through a letter, but also the wider world through contributions of your own making. All you have to do is ask for a chance and show up.
You Could Be That Individual
“On more than one occasion a letter from you all saved my life. I can’t imagine I would still be here without you all”
