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 graduate students and undergraduate students who are graduating seniors. 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:
