We're looking for interns to join our Resource Team during Spring 2024!
Our Resource Team Interns play a pivotal role in maintaining and growing the free InReach App (the world's first tech platform matching LGBTQ+ people facing discrimination and persecution with safe, verified resources). The InReach App is available on web (desktop and mobile), as well as native iOS and Android. InReach's free technology instantly matches LGBTQ+ people facing discrimination and persecution with affirming, independently verified medical and mental health care, immigration and other legal help, safe housing, food, education and employment, translation, community support, and more critical services. InReach aims to serve as a digital one-stop-shop for the intersectional LGBTQ+ community. InReach lists verified services for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugees and other immigrants, LGBTQ+ Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, the transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) community, LGBTQ+ youth and their caregivers, and more LGBTQ+ communities.
During this internship, you will use your online research, community outreach and data entry skills to help InReach to:
- Connect LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugees, and other immigrants to verified, safe legal services, translation and interpretation assistance and language classes, trauma-informed mental health care providers, and more
- Connect LGBTQ+ young people experiencing homelessness and others facing family or community rejection due to their identity to safe housing, food and clothing, drop-in centers, affirming spiritual support and other critical resources
- Connect transgender and nonbinary people to lifesaving gender affirming care, support groups, safe housing, gender-neutral restrooms and legal providers with expertise in working with TGNC clients
This is an exciting opportunity to be on the front-lines of building the free InReach App. We’re looking for meticulous, hard-working students who are passionate about LGBTQ+ rights, trans justice, and refugee rights.
