It sounds like you need an intern!

Come to a workshop “Creating a Successful Internship Program” to learn how to:
  • Assess short- medium- and long-term organizational goals
  • Sustain an internship program after a key employee leaves

  • How do we advertise internship positions to the LGBT community?
  • How can a successful internship program help your organization evolve?
  • How can a successful internship program provide meaningful career development opportunities for LGBT youth?
  • Can we bridge the gaps between our organizations and pave the way for collaboration?
Hope you can make it!
