Internship Opportunities
At TYEF we offer several internships to individuals who are ready to work in a fast paced environment and are passionate about the rights of trans youth. TYEF is a national 501c3 non profit organization which is among one of few transgender advocacy groups that focuses on working with youth under the age of eighteen.

Interns at TYEF are given the opportunity to attend conferences such as the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference, direct our podcast program TransWaves which is supported by the Transgender Law Center, and attend our transformative youth retreats. We promise that your work with TYEF will provide you with an opportunity to build upon your community organizing skills, be a rewarding experience and an excellent resume builder.
