WATER Internship Program

Here are just some of the opportunities WATER interns have:

• Program and event planning
• Assistance with writing and editing projects such as WATERtalks, WATERrituals, WATERcast, WATERwheel newsletters, journal and web articles, books, and presentations
• Non-profit fundraising
• WATER community outreach via phone, email, and listserv to our broad network of colleagues
• Hosting Visiting Scholars, ministers and guests
• Maintenance of social media platforms including the website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more
• Read and review the latest feminist books and films
• Attend social justice events and rallies in the DMV area
• Join or initiate conversations with prominent feminist scholars, activists, religious leaders, and more

Interns must commit to a minimum of six weeks, but have the opportunity to stay for a year or more. Internships are unpaid. Some interns are placed through established programs of their universities, seminaries, or religious organizations, such as Mennonite Voluntary Service. All participants are encouraged to apply for academic credit from their home institutions for their work at WATER.

Summer internships typically begin in May and finish at the end of July. There is flexibility given the applicant’s schedule. Check out our 2020 WATER Intern Application (pdf  or word document) for details.
