At WomenNC, internships are more than résumé builders—they’re a launchpad for changemakers. Our interns work directly alongside nonprofit professionals, board members, and community leaders to advance gender equity, youth empowerment, and civic engagement across North Carolina.

Interns gain hands-on experience in research, advocacy, communications, event planning, and nonprofit operations—while developing the leadership skills needed to make a lasting impact locally and globally.

Communications & Outreach Interns
Support content creation for social media, newsletters, and press outreach. Assist in designing campaigns that amplify youth leadership and gender equity initiatives.

Research & Program Interns
Work alongside our Scholars and Youth Leaders for Change participants to collect data, analyze local equity issues, and help translate research into advocacy and policy recommendations.

Development & Fundraising Interns
Assist with grant research, donor relations, sponsorship outreach, and event fundraising efforts to sustain WomenNC’s mission and programs.

Events & Engagement Interns
Help organize our annual October Event and Local-to-Global Forum events—coordinating logistics, guest communications, and onsite volunteer management.

WomenNC internships are designed to support each student’s unique goals, interests, and schedule. Whether you’re exploring research, communications, event planning, or policy advocacy, our flexible, hands-on internships provide meaningful opportunities to apply classroom learning to real-world impact. Students receive mentorship, leadership training, and professional experience tailored to their career interests—while contributing directly to projects that advance gender equity and civic engagement across North Carolina and beyond.
