INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland is a dynamic agency, reflective of our dynamic and diverse community. We have developed a program for interns who want a grassroots, hands-on internship experience.
We take undergraduate interns as well as graduate level interns. It must be understood that all candidates must be at a minimum professionally/academically familiar with the issues of coming out, the issues of being a sexual minority in a hetero-normative world, and very comfortable with being a visible and vocal ally.
Please contact Jaime Bishop for further information.
