WHERC Student Internship Program

WHERC interns

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

We offer unpaid student internships for undergraduate and graduate students. Interns are accepted year-round depending upon WHERC's needs. There are no requirements for the duration of the internship, number of hours, or 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 as well as attend community health events and participate in conference calls or meetings.  For information regarding internships, please contact:
