Internships (In progress)

Internships in Women & Gender Studies and Queer & Trans Studies

Every spring, the department offers students the chance to intern at various organizations across the Boulder and metro Denver area (and beyond!). Students may apply to internships that are related to Women & Gender Studies and/or Queer & Trans Studies. Some of the organizations we work with cross into both fields as well. An internship in Women & Gender Studies offers students the opportunity, outside of a classroom, to engage with and contribute to organizations who focus on issues, work, and advocacy around women, gender, and sexuality. An internship in Queer & Trans Studies, similarly, offers students the opportunity to engage with and contribute to organizations who focus on queer and trans issues, work, and advocacy outside of the classroom. 

All internships are stipend supported. QTS internships are stipend supported by the generous support of the Thomas R. Stephens Internship Endowment Fund. As part of the internship, students will also enroll in a once a week, 3 credit course for the Spring 2027 semester (details TBA). Internships require approximately 10 hours per week of work, dedicated both to the class and to the internship itself. Preference goes to WGST/QTS majors and minors, but the application and internships are open to all, and anyone interested is encouraged to apply. Please note that you must be enrolled at CU Boulder the semester that the internship takes place. This opportunity is open to any CU Boulder undergraduate student with a 2.0 GPA who have 30 total hours of credit. 

Application Open Soon!
