 The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland is a dynamic agency, reflective of our vibrant and diverse community. We have developed a program for interns who want a hands-on internship experience, in all facets of the organization’s operations. We accept undergraduate and graduate level interns whose program requires an internship/field work. It must be understood that all candidates be at a minimum, professionally/academically familiar with the issues of coming out, the issues of being a minority in a hetero-normative world, and be comfortable with being a visible and vocal ally.
