Queer Joy Collective Internship Program 2024

REMOTE OPPORTUNITY

Join us for our next cohort of Queer Joy Collective Interns!

Mission

Queer Joy Collective's work centers on community-based resilience building through positive expression.

Our programs include our Letter Club, Joy Archive, Internship Program, Art Contests, and more.

Throughout the internship, you will receive mentorship from our founders, access to educational and career development resources, and the opportunity to expand your network of queer working professionals. Additionally, you'll be given a free membership to our Letter Subscription for the duration of your internship.

About Los Angeles LGBT Center

The Los Angeles LGBT Center is the world’s largest LGBT organization of any kind. In 10 locations across Los Angeles, the Center’s nearly 800 employees and hundreds of volunteers offer programs, services, and global advocacy that span four broad categories: Health, Social Services and Housing, Culture and Education, and Leadership and Advocacy. The Center is an unstoppable force in the fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better world.

The Center’s flagship Anita May Rosenstein Campus in the heart of Hollywood offers housing, legal, social, cultural, and educational services, with unique programs for seniors, families, youth, and the transgender community. Youth services include emergency, transitional, and independent housing, a drop-in center, and comprehensive education and employment programs. Senior services include more than 200 affordable apartments, food assistance, employment support, educational and recreational programming, and outreach.

A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 2013, the Center’s healthcare services include one of the first medical programs for people living with HIV and AIDS; HIV and STI testing; a full range of PrEP and PEP services; as well as HIV education, prevention, and outreach programs. The Center also provides comprehensive healthcare to the transgender community, gynecological and pelvic care, fertility, hormone balancing, and well-woman care. Additionally, the Center operates a full-service pharmacy.

The Center fights to advance civil rights and freedoms for LGBTQ people domestically and internationally through education, advocacy, and community organizing. They advocate for policies and funding that advance the health and wellness of the diverse LGBTQ community. To build a stronger LGBTQ community, they provide leadership development programs for activists and technical assistance for LGBTQ organizations everywhere.

A team of staff and volunteer attorneys, law students, and paralegals serve the legal needs of LGBTQ people with a special focus on survivors of violence, undocumented immigrants, the transgender community, and youth. They also provide cultural competency trainings and workshops for institutions and other providers.

A full slate of cultural and educational programming is offered at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza. The facility includes a 200-seat theater, a smaller black-box theater, an art gallery, and rooms for meetings and classes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center continued to provide essential first-responder services where possible, shifted programs to virtual, and developed new programs such as the Pride Pantry food bank. Last year, in response to the nationwide MPX (monkeypox) crisis, the Center led vaccination and testing efforts in Los Angeles and collaborated with local and national organizations for increased state and federal funding to combat the public health emergency.
