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 Communications & Campaigns Intern, you will play an important role in shaping the stories, messages, and digital content that help power InReach’s mission. This internship is ideal for students pursuing Journalism, Communications, Media Studies, or similar fields who want meaningful, hands-on experience in digital storytelling, campaign development, donor engagement, and nonprofit communications.

Communications & Campaigns

You will directly support the planning and promotion of major organization-wide campaigns, including:

  • 1M Lives by 2030 Campaign → A donor-centered effort to connect 1 million LGBTQ+ people with safe, verified resources.
  • #TransMascFutures Campaign → A trans-led storytelling and advocacy initiative uplifting trans masculine communities.

This is a mission-driven opportunity to strengthen your writing, strengthen your portfolio, and help amplify LGBTQ+ voices nationwide.

Internship Details

  • Summer 2026 Dates: June 8, 2026 -August 7, 2026.
  • Required hours per week: 12 (*interns can select their own hours–Monday through Friday–based on their schedule/time zone; all interns will use InReach's volunteer management system to log their hours for accountability)

  • Meaningful impact work that supports LGBTQ+ individuals facing discrimination, displacement, and crisis.
