About InReach

We are InReach, a trans-led tech nonprofit building the world’s first open source verified LGBTQ+ resource platform. InReach is available on web (desktop and mobile), native iOS, and Android. Our vision is to ensure every trans and queer person has on-demand access to the safe resources they need to thrive. Over 420,000 people have used InReach to access verified LGBTQ+ resources.

About the Role

As a Social Media Intern, you’ll play a meaningful role in expanding InReach’s digital presence and helping ensure LGBTQ+ people know where to find safe, affirming support. Working closely with InReach’s Managing Director, you’ll help create and manage content across multiple platforms while learning how social media strategy supports advocacy, education, and nonprofit impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience in nonprofit communications while amplifying critical information for LGBTQ+ communities nationwide.

Internship Details

  • Spring 2026 Dates: Tuesday, January 20 – Friday, May 8, 2026

  • Location: Fully remote (from anywhere in the United States, Canada or Mexico)
  • Compensation: This is an unpaid internship. However, because we value the time and labor of our interns, we provide:

  • Educational content related to LGBTQ+ rights and safety
  • Engage with community partners, content creators, and aligned organizations to build relationships and expand reach.
  • Support strategies to grow follower count, visibility, and engagement.

  • Have strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Have professional proficiency in Spanish (a plus, not required).
