WHERC Student Internship Program

WHERC interns

The Iris Cantor-UCLA Women's Health Education and Research Center (WHERC) is a non-profit organization that provides education on physical, psychological, and social issues impacting women's health. 

We offer unpaid student internships to graduate students and undergraduate students who are graduating seniors. Interns are accepted year-round, depending upon WHERC's needs. There are no requirements regarding the duration of the internship, the number of hours, or the schedule. Our office is located in Westwood Village.

Interns work on a variety of education and outreach projects.  Examples of the range of activities students may be involved with include:

  • Grant Writing
  • Program Planning
  • Research and Evaluation
  • Community Outreach
  • Conference Organizing
  • Fund Development
  • Website Update

Because WHERC collaborates with numerous community and government agencies, interns may have the opportunity to meet a variety of women's health leaders, attend community health events, and participate in conference calls or meetings. For information regarding internships, please contact:
