What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mixner LGBTQ+Equal Rights Fellowship position at Garden State Equality?
Garden State Equality is a host of CUNY’s Mixner LGBTQ Equal Rights Fellowship.
The Mixner LGBTQ Equal Rights Fellowship, in partnership with the CCNY LGBTQ Student Center and the CUNY LGBTQI Advisory Council, is a yearlong program for students from across CUNY leading the movement for LGBTQ rights and freedom. The fellowship is named for David Mixner, a lifelong political activist involved in the movements to end the Vietnam War, pass civil rights legislation, achieve nuclear disarmament, and create a humane, stigma-free, education-based and treatment-focused approach to the AIDS epidemic.
If you identify as LGBTQ or an ally AND want to work on LGBTQ rights, this is the program for you! Our workshops will introduce you to leaders in the equality movement who will share the experiences and strategies that have shaped their careers and achieved gains for us all. The fellowship enables you to intern at advocacy organizations such as Equality NY, GMHC, and SAGE. Alternatively, you might increase representation by joining an LGBTQ affinity group while interning at a corporation. The program is open to students from all CUNY four-year institutions, not just those who attend CCNY.
