Business Development

Grow a Mission. Build Your Skills. Make an Impact.

Do you want to apply your strategic thinking to help a high-impact nonprofit grow? As a Business Development Volunteer at BRITE Institute, you’ll work on real projects that expand our reach, strengthen partnerships, and increase our capacity to mediate life-threatening risks in healthcare, national security, and beyond.

This is not just a learning experience—it’s a chance to contribute meaningfully to the success of a mission-driven organization. You’ll help identify new opportunities, support partnership outreach, strengthen operational strategy, and contribute to fundraising or sponsorship efforts.

Open to all experience levels, this role is ideal for those interested in business, consulting, nonprofit leadership, or entrepreneurship. Whether you're just getting started or already have some experience, you’ll gain practical, resume-worthy skills while helping build a safer, more resilient world.
