Affirming Fashion Intern

Affirming Fashion Intern

An opportunity for trans* and non-binary individuals to gain leadership skills and other skills needed to transition into full-time employment with PMF's support.

Program Overview

Prevention Meets Fashion's (PMF) internship program is a 3-month workforce development, mentorship, and leadership program focused on supporting the personal, professional, academic and economic growth of Black, POC, LGBTQ+ and non-binary community members living in Philadelphia, PA and surrounding counties.

Program Goals

• To challenge the intern to not only apply academic knowledge but to understand when to go beyond academic knowledge in order to understand how real world experiences impact the various marginalized communities that we serve.
• To broaden students' concept of sexual and reproductive health by increasing their awareness of the needs and challenges of Black and LGBTQ+ people.
• To provide an internship program that creates systemic change by transforming the workplace narrative to inspire Black, POC, LGBTQ+ and non-binary community members to become future leaders by increasing their economic stability and decreasing workforce barriers.

Learning and Development

All interns, regardless of their disciplines, experience or program selection learn about and use our fashion, advocacy, community and education (F.A.C.E) framework, examine policies and research, learn how to analyze data and make it digestible for our targeted communities.

Our interns learn and practice social work in a variety of ways, including experiential learning. We want our interns in the community and working directly with community of all ages.

Program Funding

Our Internship Program is funded by the generosity of individual donations and grant funding.
