ABOUT US
Since 1945, Horace Mann has approached every day as an opportunity to serve those that gear our next generation up for success - our Educators.

OVERVIEW
Our Springfield team is excited to welcome an Intern into their Legal/Risk Management & Human Resources operations this summer. The person our Hiring Managers envision will be a Microsoft expert (from Outlook to Excel, & everything in-between) who can think on their feet with their top-notch problem-solving skills, is highly organized & motivated, but while independent enough to get the job done, you're also willing to ask questions & admit when you need a helping hand. After all, this is meant to be a real-life learning experience!

Horace Mann was founded in 1945 by two Springfield, Illinois, teachers who saw a need for quality, affordable auto insurance for teachers. Since then, we’ve broadened our mission to helping all educators protect what they have today and prepare for a successful tomorrow. And with our broadened mission has come corporate growth: We serve more than 4,100 school districts nationwide, we’re publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: HMN) and we have more than $12 billion in assets.
We’re motivated by the fact that educators take care of our children’s future, and we believe they deserve someone to look after theirs. We help educators identify their financial goals and develop plans to achieve them. This includes insurance to protect what they have today and financial products to help them prepare for their future. Our tailored offerings include special rates and benefits for educators.
