What YOU Can Do
Our goal is to continue having schools and communities across the U.S. adopt our curriculum, which can be taught online or via hard copy workbooks, with or without a teacher. This is where you come in! DoughMain is comprised solely of unpaid volunteers dedicated to the mission of financial literacy. Some areas our volunteers can participate in are:
- Grant writing, obtaining the importance and core of nonprofit revenue and learning areas of research and development needed to secure funds
- Graphic design for marketing materials, FitKit™, and our website
- Fundraising essentials with our annual golf classic and other key fundraising events
- Marketing communications, newsletters both digital and direct mail
- Social media campaigns
- Administrative and other various duties
Why we value volunteers
- The opportunity to expand our mission and reach by engaging a family of competent, motivated people who share their time and talents in support of the organization’s mission
- New energy, ideas, and enthusiasm, as well as specialized skills
- Increased public support and visibility as people become ambassadors in their schools, homes, and other networks
- Cultivation of a new generation of volunteers, and retired business professionals --We could use your expertise!
As a volunteer, we can work around your schedule in terms of the hours you’d like to work and internship length.
We need your help year round! We accommodate your time!

The Volunteer Experience
My internship experience as a graphic designer was mainly project based. I was able to experience creating brochures and booklets working with Adobe In-design. The environment working at DMFLF was comfortable. If I had any questions the Executive Director was always there to help, but I was able to work independently. Overall, it was a great summer internship experience for me and I would love to comeback to work."
Kaitlyn Lam., Rider University Student/ Summer of 2024
I didn't feel like not getting paid for an internship was a problem, I learned so much and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed."
Noah Aledwan, Rutgers University/Summer Intern 2024.
I designed all of the promotional items for DoughMain’s Golf Classic, and I took part in the redesign and discussions relating to the reformatting of their entire financial literacy curriculum. I truly felt as though I was treated not just as an obsolete intern, but as a professional equal, playing a vital role for the company. I felt as though the Executive Director, Robert Church, really cared enough to create a well-rounded experience for all of the interns in order to ensure we got the most out of this experience."
Sophie V., Rider University, Graphic Design
This internship is great for students who want to apply their degree or transition to a new area of their job skills. Using my acquired skills in HR, I managed to get a job working in the HR department at the College of New Jersey."
